About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple brown suit with a short skirt and matching jacket. She stands with one hand in her pocket, wearing low heels and a neat updo. Next to her is a flat drawing of the jacket’s back, showing the buttons and seams. The drawing looks like it was made quickly, with loose lines and watercolor shading. The name "Toundra" is written in the corner, but we don’t know what it means here. If you like fashion sketches, check out the subject: womenswear collection.

Carven

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