About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, dark plaid dress with a high collar and long sleeves. Her skirt flares slightly at the knee, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. The lines are simple and quick, with just a few shadows to show shape. The name *Rosine* is written in the corner—maybe the woman’s name or the design’s title. The drawing looks like it was made fast, with brushstrokes that feel almost like a quick fashion note. If you like this style, look up Carven next—they designed clothes like this in the mid-20th century.

Carven

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