About this work

This sketch shows a person in a loose, flowing pose, wearing a dark top with rolled-up sleeves, gray pants, and chunky shoes. Their arms are stretched out, and they’re holding what look like skis—one in each hand. The background is just a few quick brushstrokes in blue and gray, with small details like a flower and a coin scattered around. The title, *"Ski de Printemps"* (which means "spring skiing"), hints at a playful twist—skis in a season when you’d normally see them. The sketch feels quick and loose, like it was drawn fast to capture movement. Next, check out Carven, the artist behind this sketch.
