About this work

This drawing depicts a woman in a yellow dress with her arms outstretched. She has dark hair and is wearing white gloves. The background of the drawing is a light beige color. The woman's dress is a simple, sleeveless design with a high neckline. Her arms are bent at the elbows, and her hands are held out to the sides. The overall effect of the drawing is one of elegance and poise. The drawing is a beautiful example of Carven's skill as an artist. For more information on Carven's work, you can visit the Museum of Ethnography.
