About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, fitted suit with a wide-brimmed hat. The jacket has a notched lapel and two buttons on the chest, while the skirt falls just above the ankles. The lines are loose and quick, with light shading to show folds in the fabric. The signature in the corner reads "Carven," and the title "Rabat" hints at a location or inspiration. The drawing feels like a quick study, maybe for a fashion design. Next, check out Carven to see more of their work.
