About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a loose, pink dress with a checkered bodice and flared skirt. Her arms are outstretched, and she’s wearing simple shoes. The lines are sketchy but confident, with some shading on her face and dress. The name *Carven* is signed at the bottom, and the paper has a handwritten label. The style looks like it could be from the mid-20th century, but we don’t know for sure. If you like this sketchy style, look up cross-hatching.

Carven

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