About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a dark navy dress with a fitted top and a flared skirt. The dress has three white zigzag lines near the hem and a bow at the collar. Her pose is relaxed, with one hand on her hip and the other resting near her side. The name "Marguarita" is signed in the corner, but it’s unclear if that’s the model or the dress. The loose, confident lines suggest it’s more about style than detail. If you like this sketchy style, look up cross-hatching.

Carven

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