About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple outfit: a short jacket with two buttons, a belt, and a knee-length skirt. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she holds something small in her right hand. The lines are loose and quick, with just a hint of shading to show folds in the fabric. The name *Pipeau* is scrawled in the top-right corner—maybe a title or a note from the artist. The drawing feels like a quick study, not a polished final piece. If you like this style, check out more work by Carven.

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