About this work

This is a simple, clean drawing of a woman in a long dress. The dress has a fitted top with short sleeves and a wide, flowing skirt made of diagonal stripes. The lines are loose and quick, giving it a sketchy, unfinished look. The handwritten note "Young" in the corner suggests this might be a study for a fashion design. The stripes on the dress are drawn with light, repeated lines—almost like a quick way to show texture. If you like this style, check out Carven.

Carven

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