About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a loose, flowing dress with a purple top and a long skirt. The skirt has a bold green leaf pattern and a row of red dots down the front. Her arms are raised behind her head, and the lines are simple but confident, almost like a quick sketch. The name *Palma* is written in the corner, which might be the dress’s name or the woman’s. The artist used loose brushstrokes and quick lines to keep it lively, not fussy. Want to see more? Look up Carven, the designer behind this sketch.

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