About this work

This quick sketch shows a woman in a simple outfit. She wears a light jacket with dark buttons, a matching skirt, and a wide-brimmed hat. Her gloves are a soft blue, and she leans slightly on a bench. The drawing uses loose, confident lines—no small details, just shapes and colors. The name *Lilas blanc* is scribbled in the corner, maybe the outfit’s name. Look up Carven next—they designed clothes like this in the mid-1900s.

Carven

These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
