About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a wide skirt. The dress has a fitted bodice with a pattern of small shapes, and the skirt flares out dramatically. She’s holding a veil in one hand, and her pose is relaxed, like she’s mid-movement. The name *Liseron* is written at the top—it might be the dress’s design name. The loose, sketchy lines give it a quick, almost hand-drawn feel. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.

Carven

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