About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length dress with a draped bodice and flared skirt. The fabric looks textured, with a subtle checkered pattern. She’s wearing a cap and has one hand on her hip, standing confidently against a plain background. The name *Pimprenelle* is written at the top—maybe the dress’s name. The lines are simple but show folds and movement in the cloth. 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.
