About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a high collar and a bow at the back. Her hair is pulled up, and she wears simple jewelry. Next to her is a chair with a bow tied to the backrest. The lines are loose and quick, with light shading on the dress. The name *Véronèse* is written in the corner, but this is actually a fashion sketch, not a painting. The artist used simple strokes to capture the dress’s shape and movement. If you like this style, look up Carven.

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