About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple outfit. She’s wearing a short jacket with a high collar and a full, pleated skirt that flares out. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s walking with one foot slightly ahead. To the right, there’s a smaller drawing of just the jacket and skirt. The name *Thérésa* is written in the corner—maybe it’s the outfit’s name or the woman’s. The lines are loose and quick, like the artist was sketching fast. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.

About the artist

Artist

Carven

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