About this work

This sketch shows a woman from behind, wearing a loose, long-sleeved dress with white floral patterns on the front. The dress has a high collar and a wide skirt that flows down to her ankles. She’s also wearing a wide-brimmed hat with a dark band, and her arms are relaxed at her sides. The drawing uses simple lines and soft shading to focus on the shape and fabric of the dress. The white flowers stand out against the darker background, making them the main detail. Check out Carven to see more of their fashion-inspired art.

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