About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple pose, walking sideways. She’s wearing a short-sleeved dress with a bold black-and-white pattern—big, uneven splotches that look like paint splashes. The dress flares out at the bottom, and she’s got low-heeled shoes. Her hair is pulled back, and the background is just a plain, light-colored paper. The title written in the corner, *Vieil or*, might hint at something old or worn—maybe the dress or the style. The sketch feels quick and loose, like it was drawn fast with a pencil or brush. If you like this style, look up Carven next—they’re known for playful, modern designs.

Carven

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