About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple red dress with a fitted top and a flared skirt. The dress has a row of buttons down the front and a small collar. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she’s wearing low-heeled shoes. The artist used loose, quick lines to sketch the outfit, with some shading to show the fabric’s folds. The signature in the corner reads “Saumur.” If you like this style, check out Carven.

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