About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a fitted blue dress with a square neckline and a small waist. Her arms are relaxed at her sides, and the dress flares slightly at the knee. To the right, there’s a simple line drawing of the dress from behind, showing its shape and buttons down the front. The drawing is loose and quick, with bold lines and simple shading. The name "Napolitain" is written at the top, likely the dress’s design name. Check out Carven for more fashion-inspired art.

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