About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, dark dress with a deep V-neck and fitted sleeves. Her skirt flares out slightly, and she’s wearing black gloves and low-heeled shoes. The lines on the dress are drawn in quick, parallel strokes, giving it texture. The name *Marcé* is scrawled in the corner, likely the dress’s model or designer. The sketch feels loose and quick—like a first idea rather than a finished drawing. Next, check out Carven, the artist who made this.

Carven

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