About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black outfit. She’s wearing a long coat with a high collar, a fitted dress with pleats, and pointed heels. Her hair is short and styled neatly, and she’s holding a small purse. The artist signed it “Grillon” in the corner, but this is actually a drawing by Carven. The loose, sketchy lines make the clothes look modern and stylish. Check out the Museum of Ethnography to see where this drawing is kept.

Carven

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