About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a bright orange dress with a deep V-neck. The skirt flares out wide, decorated with clusters of white flowers and green leaves. Her pose is confident, with one hand on her hip and the other resting by her side. The title *Rose de sable* hints at the floral pattern—“rose” for flowers, “sable” for the dark green stems. The loose, sketchy lines make it feel quick and lively, like a fashion sketch. Next, check out Carven, the artist behind this design.
