About this work

This is a simple line drawing of a woman in a matching blue suit and pants. The outfit has a double-breasted jacket with a slight flare at the waist, and the pants hit just above the ankle. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears small round earrings. The name *Méthylène* is written in the corner, likely the outfit’s design code. The drawing looks like a quick sketch, maybe for a fashion house. If you like this style, check out Carven for more work like this.

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