About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long coat with a big collar and two pockets on the front. The coat has a checkered pattern in browns and tans. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she’s walking with one foot slightly ahead. The coat’s shape—called a *prince-de-galles*—has a fitted waist and flared skirt. It looks like a quick, loose drawing, maybe for a fashion design. Check out Carven, the artist behind this sketch.

Carven

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