About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with wide legs and a belted waist. She’s carrying a small bag in one hand and a purse in the other. The lines are loose and confident, with just a few quick strokes for shading. The artist signed it “Platine” at the bottom, which might be a nickname or a model’s name. The drawing feels like it was done fast—maybe for a fashion sketch or a quick idea. If you like this style, check out Carven, the artist who made it.

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