About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, blue patterned suit with a bow at the waist. Her hair is short and neatly styled, and she’s holding a small bag in one hand. The lines are simple and quick, with light shading to show folds in the fabric. The handwritten notes say *"Retouché Tôle"* and *"d’Apres Preciuny,"* which might hint at changes or a model. The blue pattern looks like a quick brush of paint or ink, not detailed. Next, check out Carven to see more of this designer’s work.

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