About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a full, yellow ball gown. The dress is strapless and has a sweetheart neckline, with a full skirt that is gathered at the waist. The woman's face is not visible. The drawing is done in a loose, expressive style, with bold lines and bright colors. The yellow of the dress is especially vibrant, and it dominates the composition. The background is a plain beige, which helps the dress stand out. The drawing is titled "Coralina" and was created by Carven in 1952. It is held at the Museum of Ethnography. If you like this drawing, you might also want to look up the work of Carven, the artist who created it.
