About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, red dress with a fitted top and a flared skirt. Her left arm rests on her hip, while her right hand holds a cigarette. The dress looks soft and slightly wrinkled, with a few quick brushstrokes to show texture. The handwriting at the top says "Moulin Rouge," which hints this might be a costume design. The sketch is simple but captures movement well with just a few lines. Check out Carven to see more of their fashion designs.

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