About this work

This sketch shows a woman walking sideways, her arms relaxed at her sides. She wears a sleeveless dress with a loose, flowing skirt covered in abstract brown shapes. The background is plain, letting the figure stand out clearly. The title *Plume d’or* hints at something golden or feather-like, though the drawing itself uses simple lines and soft browns. The artist focused on movement and shape over detail. Next, look up feather to see how artists have used them as symbols in fashion and art.

Carven

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