About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, sleeveless dress with a flared skirt. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she holds a small object in her right hand. The lines are loose but confident, with watercolor-like shading to suggest fabric folds. The name *Pauline* is written in the top-right corner, and there’s a smaller sketch of the dress’s back view. The drawing feels quick, like a first draft for a design. Look up Carven to see more of their fashion sketches.

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