About this work

This is a simple line drawing of a woman in a long, dark coat. The coat has a high collar, two buttons, and deep pockets. Her hands are tucked inside, and she wears simple shoes. The background is plain, and the whole image is in soft, muted colors. The word *Violoncelle* is written in the top corner—it’s French for "cello," but it’s not clear why it’s here. The drawing looks like a quick sketch, maybe for fashion. If you like this style, check out Carven, the artist who made it.

Carven

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