About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a strapless dress with a full, flowing skirt. The skirt has loose, brushy floral shapes in soft purples and blues. Her hair is pulled up, and she stands on one leg with a slight bend at the knee. The small drawing in the corner looks like a simplified version of the dress, maybe a flat pattern. The artist’s handwriting says “Quartz” and a number. If you like this style, check out Carven.

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