About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress with a high collar and bow at the neck. The skirt is loose and straight, falling just above her ankles. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one foot slightly ahead, as if mid-step. The drawing is loose and quick, with light pencil strokes that suggest fabric rather than detail. The name "Novia" is written in the corner, which might be a design code or title. Check out the Museum of Ethnography to see more sketches like this.

Carven

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