About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, light-blue dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. She’s standing sideways, one arm raised as if adjusting her hair, and her other hand rests on her hip. The lines are simple and quick, with watercolor shading to suggest the fabric’s drape. The artist left the background plain, focusing all attention on the figure. The name *Orgueil* is written in the corner, which might hint at a title or theme—maybe something about pride or confidence. Next, check out Carven, the artist behind this sketch.

Carven

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