About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a flowing dress with red dots scattered across it. She’s wearing a dark hat and holding her skirt lightly with one hand. The dress flares out at the bottom, and there’s a small drawing of a matching jacket beside her. The word *Voltigeur* is written in the corner—it’s French for “acrobat,” which might hint at the dress’s movement. The artist used quick, loose lines to suggest fabric and motion.

Carven

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