About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length dress with a plaid pattern in soft greens and browns. She wears a wide-brimmed hat and a belt cinched at her waist. The jacket has a simple V-neck and short sleeves, with matching plaid fabric. The drawing includes a small back view of the outfit, showing the dress’s pleated skirt and the jacket’s back pockets. The artist’s signature, "Carven," is written in the top right corner. Check out the museum: Museum of Ethnography to see this sketch in person.
