About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, light blue dress with short sleeves and a collar. Her skirt hits just above the knee, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. In the corner, there’s a small drawing of the same dress from the front, showing the buttons down the middle. The artist wrote “Paris-Brest” at the top, which might hint at a connection to a famous pastry or a place. The lines are loose and quick, like a first draft for a fashion design. If you like this style of fashion drawing, look up Carven.

Carven

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