About this work

This drawing shows a simple, stylized woman in a long green dress with brown accents. The dress has a deep V-neck and a wide skirt, with small floral details on the chest. Her arms are straight at her sides, and her head is bare, drawn as a smooth circle with a loose bun. The sketch feels quick and loose, like a rough draft. The colors are flat and clean, with no shading or background. The artist signed it in the corner with the name "Carven." If you like this style, look up Carven.
