About this work

This drawing shows a woman from behind, wearing a dark blue checkered suit with a matching jacket and pants. She’s walking with one hand in her pocket, her hair tucked under a hat. The lines are loose and quick, with some shading on her sleeves and hat. The name *Otarie* is scrawled in the corner—maybe a nickname or a model’s name. The sketch feels like a quick study, not a polished portrait. Check out Carven for more of their fashion sketches.

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