About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, flowing pink dress with a fitted bodice and flared skirt. Her arms are raised, one hand resting on her head while the other extends outward. The dress has a few pink dots near the shoulders, and her pose looks relaxed yet graceful. The word *Menuet* suggests a dance-like movement, even though the figure is still. The drawing feels quick and loose, like a first idea rather than a finished design. Want to see more? Look up Carven.

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