About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a high waist and a draped neckline. She’s holding a matching hat in one hand and a small purse in the other. Her hair is styled in a short, voluminous updo, and she’s wearing pointed high heels. The sketch feels simple but precise, focusing on the shape and flow of the clothing. The word "Niagara" is written in the corner, but it’s unclear what that refers to. Check out Carven to see more of this artist’s work.

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