About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, pinkish coat with sharp angles and three visible buttons. The coat has a high collar and wide sleeves, and her hair is pulled back. A dark, flowing scarf drapes over her shoulder, blending into the background. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to suggest fabric folds and movement. The coat’s geometric shape stands out against the loose, wavy strokes of the scarf. Next, check out Carven to see more of this artist’s bold designs.

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