About this work

This sketch shows two women in sleek black dresses with tiny polka dots. The bigger figure stands with one hand on her hip, showing off a fitted bodice and a full, flared skirt. The smaller figure is drawn from the back, also in a similar polka-dotted dress but shorter. The artist used quick, loose lines to capture the dresses’ shapes. The polka dots add a playful touch to the otherwise simple designs. Look up Carven to see more of this designer’s work.

Carven

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