About this work

This drawing shows a woman from the back, wearing a sleek black outfit with a long jacket and matching skirt. Her hands rest on her hips, and she’s wearing low-heeled shoes. The lines are simple but confident, with a light beige background that keeps the focus on her figure. The title, *Prince Consort*, hints this might be a fashion sketch rather than a portrait. The style looks polished and modern for its time, with clean shapes and minimal detail. Next, check out Carven—the artist behind this drawing.
