About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress with short sleeves and a gathered waist. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s wearing small earrings. The lines are loose and quick, like a rough draft. The name *Mordorée* is written in the corner, which might be the dress style or a label. The drawing feels like it was made fast, almost like a quick note of how the outfit moves. Check out more by the artist Carven.

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