About this work

The image depicts a woman wearing a long, white coat with a pattern of small, dark shapes. Her short, dark hair is styled in a bob, and she wears high heels. The background of the image is a light beige color. The woman's coat appears to be made of a lightweight material, possibly silk or cotton, and features a subtle sheen. The dark shapes on the coat may be leaves or flowers, adding a touch of elegance to the overall design. The image is a drawing, likely created with a combination of pencil and ink. The level of detail and realism suggests that the artist, Carven, was skilled in their craft. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's work, you can explore the Museum of Ethnography.
