About this work

The painting depicts a woman in a blue outfit, with a white collar and a matching hat. She is shown from the knees up, with her left leg slightly bent and her right arm at her side. The woman's face is not visible, as her head is turned away from the viewer. To the right of the woman is a simple drawing of the back of a shirt, which appears to be a design for the woman's outfit. The background of the painting is a plain white color. This image is reminiscent of the work of artist Carven.

Carven

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