About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, dark dress with a jacket and long skirt. Her left hand rests on her head, while her right arm hangs loosely. The lines are quick and loose, almost like a quick note of how she moves. The drawing’s name, *Narval*, is scrawled in the corner—maybe a nickname for the outfit or a playful touch. The style feels modern for its time, with clean shapes and a focus on the body’s flow. Want to see more? Check out Carven, the artist behind this sketch.
