About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a dark blue dress with a fitted bodice and a wide, ruffled skirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s holding a small object in one hand. The lines are loose but confident, with quick strokes for the dress’s folds. The name *Sophie* is written in the corner, but we don’t know if it’s the model or the dress. The sketch feels like a quick study, maybe for a fashion design. Want to see more? Check out Carven, the artist behind this drawing.

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