About this work

This image presents a sketch of a woman in a suit, her left hand raised with the palm facing outward. The suit is rendered in black and white, with the woman's face and hair depicted in a more detailed, expressive manner. The background of the image is a plain white sheet of paper, with two holes punched along the left edge. The woman's pose and attire suggest a sense of confidence and professionalism. Her facial expression is neutral, yet her raised hand conveys a sense of authority or assertiveness. The image is a drawing by Carven, held at the Museum of Ethnography. To learn more about the artist's technique, explore the concept of cross-hatching.
