About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length jacket and matching pants. The fabric has a subtle checkered pattern in soft blues and grays. Her hair is short and neat, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. To the right, there’s a simple back view of the same jacket. The drawing is clean and quick, almost like a fashion sketch. The name “Mantoue” is written in the corner, which might be the outfit’s name or a note from the artist. If you like this style, look up Carven for more work like this.

Carven

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