About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a dark brown dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. Her hands rest on her stomach, and she wears simple jewelry and pointed shoes. The dress has small floral embroidery near the hem, and the background is plain white. The artist included a small sketch of the dress on the right side, showing its shape without fabric details. The signature "Carven" and the year "66" are written in the corner. Check out the museum: Museum of Ethnography to see this drawing in person.
