About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length dress with bold black shapes on a light background. She’s holding a small black purse in one hand and has a matching hat tilted slightly to the side. The lines are quick and confident, leaving some areas sketchy while others are filled in with flat colors. The name *Pinocchio* is scrawled at the top, which doesn’t match the woman’s look—this might be a playful title. The artist’s signature, *Carven*, is small and neat at the bottom left.
