About this work

This is a simple black-and-white line drawing of a woman in a dress. The dress has a fitted jacket with a checkered pattern in black and yellow, and a matching pleated skirt. The woman stands with one hand resting on her hip and the other hanging loose. The title written at the bottom, *Rayons de soleil*, means "sun rays" in French, hinting at the bright yellow lines in the fabric. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next.

Carven

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