About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, green dress with short sleeves and a fitted waist. The dress flares slightly at the knees, and she’s wearing small hoop earrings. The background is plain, letting the figure stand out clearly. The name *Ortie* is written in the top-right corner, and the drawing looks like it was done quickly with loose brushstrokes. The focus is on the dress itself, not the face or background. If you like this style of fashion drawing, look up womenswear in vintage fashion archives.

Carven

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