About this work

The image depicts a woman in a floral dress, with her body facing left and her head turned to the right. The dress is white with pink and red flowers, and it has a full skirt that falls just below the knee. The woman's hair is dark and styled in a neat updo. The woman's pose suggests that she is walking or dancing, with one leg bent in front of the other. Her arms are relaxed by her sides, and her hands are not visible. The background of the image is a plain beige color, which helps to focus attention on the woman and her dress. This image is reminiscent of the work of artist Carven.

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