This sketch shows a woman standing sideways, holding a small purse in one hand. She’s wearing a sleek black dress that falls in a straight line to the floor, with a fringe-like texture at the bottom. Her hair is short and wavy, and she’s resting her other hand on a flat surface, like a table or counter. The drawing is loose and quick, with just a few lines defining the shapes. The artist focused on the dress’s simple elegance rather than details like her face or background. Look up Carven to see more of this artist’s work.
