About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, purple dress with short sleeves and pockets. The dress has a simple collar and a slight A-line shape, with a small stripe of green and blue near the hem. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. The drawing includes a quick back view of the dress on the right side, showing the same pocket details. The style looks clean and practical, with no frills. Check out the Museum of Ethnography to see where this sketch is kept.

Carven

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