About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress with a draped skirt and bare shoulders. The fabric has soft folds, and the dress is tied at the waist. Next to her is a small drawing of the same dress from the front, showing the tie detail. The title *Rose des sables* (French for "Rose of the Sands") hints at a possible connection to something light and delicate, like fabric or a nickname. The drawing feels quick and loose, almost like a fashion sketch. If you like this style, look up Carven for more designer drawings.

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