About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, sleeveless dress with a wide, flowing skirt. The dress has a dark blue bodice and a skirt covered in purple and pink floral patterns. The woman stands sideways, one leg slightly forward, with a small sketch of the dress’s back view in the corner. The word *toile* means this is a fabric test design—artists use these to try out colors and patterns before making the final garment. The handwritten note *Carven* hints at who might have drawn it. Look up Carven to see more of their bold fashion sketches.

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