About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, loose dress with a belt tied around her waist. Her coat is draped over one arm, and her hair is pulled back neatly. The drawing uses quick, rough strokes—some areas are filled with light shading, while others stay plain. The belt’s knot is small but noticeable, adding a tiny detail that makes the outfit feel real. The paper has two small circular stamps in the corners, like old labels. If you like this style, check out Carven for more fashion sketches like this one.

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