About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress with a big skirt. The fabric has a bold pattern of dark shapes on a lighter background. She’s wearing a small hat and holding her skirt slightly with one hand. The name *Olifan* is written in the corner, but we don’t know what it means. The drawing looks loose and quick, almost like a fashion sketch. If you like this style, check out Carven, the artist who made it.

Carven

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