About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length dress with a checkered pattern in soft blues and grays. The dress has a deep V-neck and three visible buttons down the front. She wears simple earrings, a headband, and low-heeled shoes. Her left hand rests on her hip, and her right hand holds a small object—maybe a cigarette or a purse. The name *Sorbet* is scrawled in the top right corner, likely the title. The drawing feels quick and rough, like it was done in a hurry or as a rough draft.

Carven

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