About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a fitted, knee-length dress with a bright green-and-yellow pattern. The dress has short sleeves and a flared skirt with clean, sharp pleats. To the right, there’s a simple line drawing of the dress’s back view, showing how the pleats sit. The sketch is signed “Carven” in the corner, and the title “Zénith” is written next to it. The artist’s loose, confident lines make the dress look both stylish and easy to move in. Want to see more by this designer? Check out Carven.
