About this work

This is a loose, ink-on-paper sketch of a woman in a simple outfit. She’s wearing a light-colored coat with a notched collar, a dark top underneath, and a green skirt. Her right hand rests on her hip, and she’s holding a small object—maybe a cigarette or a pen—between her fingers. The drawing feels quick and rough, like a first draft. The artist left some lines unfinished, giving it a sketchy, almost unfinished look. If you like this style, check out Carven.

Carven

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