About this work

This sketch shows a woman from the back, wearing a long red dress that flows down to her ankles. Over it, she has a dark fur shawl draped across her shoulders. Her hair is pulled up neatly, and she stands against a plain background. The title *Théâtre* hints this might be a costume design for a play. The loose, flowing lines of the dress suggest movement, even though the figure is still. Next, look up Carven to see more of their fashion-inspired art.

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