About this work

This sketch shows a woman from behind in a long, textured coat with a wide hem. Her hands are tucked into pockets, and the coat flares out at the bottom. Next to her is a smaller, simpler drawing of the same coat, showing just the front and skirt. The rough, sketchy lines suggest quick, loose drawing—almost like a fashion draft. The coat’s pattern looks like tiny dots or dashes packed together. Want to see more of this artist’s work? Check out Carven.

Carven

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