About this work

This sketch shows a person in a loose, light-gray suit with wide lapels and a belted waist. The pants are the same color, but the belt is bright green. The shoes are simple and flat, and the person’s hands rest in their pockets. The face is plain, with just a red dot for a mouth. The word *Sablé* is written in the corner—maybe it’s the outfit’s name or style. The drawing is quick and loose, like a fashion note rather than a detailed portrait. If you like this style, look up Carven for more sketches like this.

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