About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, striped dress with wide, dark blue and white bands. The dress has a fitted top with puffed shoulders and a high waist, then flares out into a wide skirt. She’s wearing a hat and has her hands on her hips. The stripes on the dress are drawn with quick, clean lines—almost like a sketch. The artist focused on the dress’s shape and pattern, not details like fabric texture. If you like this style, check out Carven.

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