About this work

This drawing features a woman in a yellow dress, with a white hat and heels. The dress has a collar and a bow at the neck, and the woman's left hand is on her hip. The background is a light beige color. The drawing is rendered in a simple yet elegant style, with bold lines and minimal shading. The artist's use of color is subtle, with the yellow dress being the only bright note in an otherwise muted palette. The Museum of Ethnography holds this drawing, which is a charming example of the artist's work. For more information on the artist's use of color and line, you might want to look up the artist Marie-Louise Carven.
