About this work

This sketch shows a woman walking toward the right. She’s wearing a simple yellow dress with black trim, a white collar, and a narrow belt tied in a bow. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s barefoot, with one foot slightly ahead of the other. The drawing is loose and quick, like a quick sketch rather than a finished work. The name *Roitelet* is written in the corner, but it’s not clear what that means here. Check out Carven to see more of this artist’s work.

Carven

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