About this work

This is a simple line drawing of a woman in a dress. The dress has wide blue and white stripes on the top half, with a flared skirt that looks light and airy. Her hands rest on her hips, and she’s wearing low-heeled shoes. The background is plain, and the whole sketch feels quick and loose, like it was done in a hurry. The name *Touron* is written in the corner, which might be the dress’s name or the model’s. The sketch looks like it was made to show off fabric and shape rather than details. If you like this style, check out Carven—the artist who made it.

Carven

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