About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long dress with a purple patterned skirt and a loose top. The lines are quick and simple, focusing on shape over detail. Two small brass rings hold the paper in place. The dress has a mix of flowing fabric and sharp angles, like the slit on the skirt. The artist signed it "Marakech" in the corner. Look up Carven to see more of their fashion sketches.

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