About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a fitted blue-and-white striped suit. She’s walking with one hand on her hip, the other holding something small. The jacket has sharp lapels, and the skirt flares slightly at the bottom. Her hair is pulled back under a small hat. The stripes on her outfit are drawn with quick, parallel lines—almost like shorthand for fabric. The whole drawing feels loose, like it was made fast. Want to see more clothes like this?

Carven

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