About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple purple dress with a matching cape. The cape has a row of blue and green flowers down the front. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s standing sideways with one hand resting on her hip. In the corner, there’s a quick sketch of another dress shape. The flowers on the cape look like they’re stitched on, not painted. The drawing is loose and quick, almost like a fashion sketch. Look up Carven next—they were known for blending art and clothing design.

Carven

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