About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a loose, dark blue dress with a splashy pattern of lighter blues and whites. The dress has short sleeves, a fitted waist, and a flared skirt that stops just above her ankles. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one hand on her hip, looking confident. In the corner, there’s a simple sketch of the dress’s back view. The name *Scoubidou* is written in the top-right corner, which might be a code or a nickname for the design. The drawing feels quick and sketchy, like it was made fast to capture the dress’s shape. If you like fashion sketches, check out womenswear from the 1950s.

Carven

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