About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a wide skirt. The fabric has a loose, wavy pattern of pink and green flowers along the hem. Her hair is pulled back, and the lines are loose and quick, like a quick sketch. The dress looks light and airy, almost like it’s made of layers of fabric. The flowers repeat in a simple, rhythmic way down the skirt. If you like this style, look up Carven for more fashion sketches.

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