About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt that stops just above the ankle. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she wears small earrings. The drawing is loose and quick, with bold lines and minimal shading. The name *Ognette* is scrawled in the corner, and the sketch looks like a fashion study rather than a finished portrait. The focus is on the dress’s shape and movement. Next, check out Carven to see more of their fashion sketches.

Carven

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