About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, flowing gown with a wide skirt. The dress has layers of fabric, some dotted with tiny circles, and the bodice is dark with a patterned design. The sleeves are long and attached with straps, and the whole thing looks light but structured. The sketch is signed "Luciole" in the corner, which is also the title of the drawing. The style feels loose and quick, almost like a fashion sketch. If you like this, look up Carven to see more of their work.

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