About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple, light-colored outfit. She wears a wide-brimmed hat, a matching jacket with two buttons, and a skirt that hits just above her ankles. Her left hand holds a folded cloth, and her right hand rests at her side. In the corner, there’s a small sketch of the same outfit from the back, showing the jacket’s back view. The name *Soleil*—written in the top right corner—might hint at the outfit’s light, sunny color. The loose, sketchy lines give it a quick, almost playful feel. If you like this style, look up Carven.

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