About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, flowing dress with a deep V-neck and wide sleeves. The dress is a warm brown color, almost like caramel, with a long, flared skirt that brushes the ground. Her pose is relaxed, with one hand resting on her hip and the other arm bent at the elbow. The drawing uses quick, confident strokes—some areas are filled with light shading, while others stay simple. The name "Caramel" is written in the corner, matching the dress color. If you like this style, check out the museum: Museum of Ethnography to see more of Carven’s work.
