About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, loose outfit. She’s wearing a short jacket with a belt, a knee-length skirt, and a cap. The lines are quick and light, with just a few shadows to show shape. The drawing looks like it was made fast—maybe while the artist was thinking about how the clothes fit. The name *Matamor* is written in the corner, but we don’t know what it means. If you like this style, check out Carven for more fashion sketches.

Carven

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