About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, elegant dress with a high collar and puffy sleeves. Her hair is styled in a big, rounded shape, and the skirt flows loosely around her. The lines are light and quick, almost like a quick sketch. The artist signed it “Mazagan” in the corner, which might be the name of the dress or a place. The drawing feels loose and unfinished, like a first idea for a design. Next, look up Carven to see more of this artist’s work.

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