About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, dark coat with big buttons down the front. Her skirt has a striped underside peeking out, and she wears a wide-brimmed hat. The lines are bold and simple, with no extra details. The artist signed it "Carven," which looks like a fashion designer’s name. The sketch feels more like a quick fashion sketch than a detailed portrait. If you like this style, look into Carven for more work like this.

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