About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek, knee-length dress with a fitted top and a flared skirt. The dress is covered in big purple and green floral prints, and the fabric looks light and flowing. Her pose is simple—arms relaxed at her sides, one leg slightly forward. The sketch is signed "Liliane" in the corner, but it’s actually a design drawing, not a portrait. The loose, quick lines give it a lively, hand-drawn feel. Next, look up Carven to see more of this designer’s work.

Carven

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