About this work

This is a quick sketch of a woman in a sleek, knee-length dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The dress has small floral embroidery on the chest, and her arms are bare. She’s wearing pointed high heels and holding what looks like a small clutch in one hand. The sketch is loose and sketchy, with flat colors and simple lines—no shading or detail beyond the basics. The word *"Pirée"* is written in the top right corner. If you like this style, check out Carven for more fashion sketches.

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