About this work

This drawing, titled 'Pouncho', showcases a woman wearing a long, dark blue coat with a collar and pockets. The coat is buttoned up and has a belt tied around her waist. Her hands are tucked into the pockets, and she has short, curly hair. The woman is depicted in a standing position, facing forward. The background of the drawing is plain white, which helps to focus attention on the subject. The overall style of the drawing is simple yet elegant, with clean lines and minimal details. The 'Pouncho' drawing is a great example of Carven's work, and it would be interesting to explore more of their designs, especially in the context of womenswear.
