About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, light blue dress with a bow at the waist. She stands sideways, one hand resting at her side, the other near her hip. The dress is loose but has a slight flare at the bottom, and she wears small earrings and low heels. The name *Phrynée* is written in the corner, which might be the dress’s design name. There’s also a tiny sketch of the dress from the front, showing the bow tied differently. Look up Carven next to see more of this artist’s work.

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