About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, black-and-white dress with big, blocky shapes. The dress has wide sleeves and a high collar, and the fabric looks soft. To the right, there’s a simple line drawing of the same dress from the front. The blocks of color on the dress are painted in quick, flat strokes. The woman’s pose is relaxed, with one hand resting on her hip. Next, look up Carven to see more of this artist’s bold fashion sketches.
