About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a fitted suit with wide lapels and a long, flowing skirt. Her hat sits low over her head, and she’s holding it with one hand. The lines are loose but confident, with some shading on the jacket. The signature in the corner reads “Carven,” and the title is *Madrid*. The drawing feels quick, like a first idea for a design. If you like this style, look up Carven for more fashion sketches.

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