About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long red dress with dark lines and a matching jacket. She’s wearing a dark hat and holding something small in her right hand. The lines are bold and simple, with flat colors and no background. The name *Pactole* is written in the corner, but we don’t know what it means. The sketch looks like it was made to show off clothing design. Next, check out Carven, the artist behind this drawing.
