About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. She’s wearing a necklace and has her hair pulled back neatly. The drawing is loose and quick, with bold lines and minimal shading. The name *Merlette* is written in the top corner, and there’s a small sketch of the dress at the bottom right. The style looks simple but polished, like a fashion sketch. Check out Carven for more work by this artist.

Carven

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