About this work

This is a simple line drawing of a woman in a sleek black dress. She’s holding a small black purse in one hand and a cigarette holder in the other. The dress fits tightly at the waist and flares out slightly at the knees, with a draped neckline. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she’s wearing earrings. The drawing looks like a quick sketch, with loose lines and minimal shading. The word *Offrande* is written in the corner, which might be the name of the design or the dress itself. If you like this style, check out Carven for more fashion sketches.

Carven

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