About this work

This sketch shows a person wearing a fitted jacket with wide lapels, a bow tie, and matching gloves. The jacket has long sleeves with cuffs that fold back. Next to the figure, there’s a simple back view of the same jacket, drawn in a few quick lines. The drawing is all in black ink on plain paper, with no color or shading. The artist even wrote *"les mouches"* (which means "the flies" in French) near the bottom, maybe as a note or title. Next, look up Carven to see more of their fashion sketches.

Carven

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