About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length coat with big pockets and a simple skirt underneath. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with one hand on her hip. To the right, there’s a flat drawing of the same coat, folded and hanging. The coat’s clean lines and lack of detail make it look modern and easy to wear. The artist focused on shape over fancy patterns. Look up Carven next to see more of their work.

Carven

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