About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black outfit with a high collar and a red brooch at the neck. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. Next to her is a simpler line drawing of the same outfit from the back, showing straps on a sleeveless top underneath. The drawing feels quick and loose, like a fashion sketch rather than a detailed portrait. The black ink stands out against the light background, making the outfit look sharp and modern.

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