About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, elegant outfit. She’s wearing a short jacket with a high collar and a full, flowing skirt that hits just above her knees. Her hair is pulled back under a small hat, and she stands with one hand on her hip. The drawing uses quick, confident lines to show fabric texture. The dark shading makes the outfit look rich, almost like polished stone. Check out Carven to see more of their fashion designs.

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