About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a black dress with bright green floral patterns. The dress has puffed short sleeves and a fitted waist, flaring into a flared skirt. Her pose is relaxed, one hand resting on her hip. The signature reads "Carven," and the title is *Nicaragua*—likely inspired by the dress’s bold, tropical print.
