About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black outfit. The top has sharp lapels and two pockets, while the skirt flares out wide. She’s wearing a small hat and pointed shoes, walking with one leg slightly ahead. The name *Ovide* is written in the corner—likely the design’s title. The loose, sketchy lines make it feel quick, like a fashion idea jotted down fast. Check out Carven, the artist behind this drawing.
