About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress with short sleeves and a belted waist. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands confidently with one hand on her hip. Next to her is a flat drawing of the same dress from behind, showing its clean lines. The artist focused on the dress’s shape and fabric folds, using bold black lines. The style looks practical and stylish, like something from the mid-20th century. Check out the Museum of Ethnography to see more of this artist’s work.

Carven

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