About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress and pants, walking with one hand on her hip. She’s holding a small bouquet of flowers in her other hand, and her hair is pulled back loosely. The lines are quick and loose, with just a few colors—black, pink, and a touch of brown. The drawing feels casual, like a quick snapshot. The word *Vertige* (French for "dizziness") is written in the corner, maybe hinting at movement or energy. Next, look up Carven to see more of this artist’s work.
