About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress. The dress has thin straps, a fitted bodice, and a flared skirt with a ruffled hem. The fabric looks light, almost see-through, with small dots scattered across it. Her arms are outstretched slightly, and her legs are apart in a relaxed pose. The name *Pâquerette* is written at the top, which might be the dress’s name. The drawing is loose and quick, with some shading to show shape. If you like this style, look up Carven.

Carven

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