About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a bright red dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she wears simple jewelry—a necklace and earrings. The drawing is loose and quick, with bold lines and flat colors. The title *Tapageuse* is handwritten in the corner, which means "noisy" or "lively" in French. That might hint at the dress’s bold look. 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.
