About this work

This is a simple line drawing of a woman in a flowing dress. The dress has a fitted top with a V-neck and a wide, full skirt covered in loose floral patterns—mostly pink and green. The woman’s pose is relaxed, with one hand resting on her hip and her legs slightly apart. The title, *Mont des oiseaux*, is written in the corner, which means "bird mountain" in French. The sketch feels quick and loose, like a quick fashion sketch rather than a detailed portrait. If you like this style, check out Carven for more work like this.

Carven

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