About this work

This is a quick sketch of a woman in a long, flowing dress. The dress has thin straps, a fitted bodice with a small floral pattern, and a loose skirt that flares out. Her hair is pulled up neatly, and she stands with one hand resting at her side. The sketch uses simple lines and light shading to show fabric folds and volume. The name "Phaedra" is written in the corner, which might be the dress design’s name. Check out Carven to see more of their fashion-inspired artwork.

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