About this work

The image presents a drawing of a woman in a black dress with white stripes, standing with her left hand on her hip. She is depicted wearing high heels and a hat, with her body facing the viewer and her head turned to the right. The drawing is rendered in black ink, with some areas colored in with orange and white. In the bottom-right corner of the image, a smaller drawing of the back of the dress is visible. This drawing appears to be a design sketch, showcasing the dress's details from a different angle. This drawing is held at the Museum of Ethnography.

Carven

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