About this work

This is a quick, loose drawing of a woman in a sharp suit. The jacket has bold lapels and a textured pattern made of thin, crisscrossed lines. Her skirt is simple but fits snugly, and she’s holding a small bag in one hand. The signature in the corner says *Madrid*—maybe the place or the outfit’s style. The sketch feels fast, like a fashion sketch rather than a finished portrait. If you like this style, check out Carven for more work like this.

Carven

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