About this work

Overview

Curry is a drawing created by Carven in 1963, held at the Museum of Ethnography.

Subject & Meaning

The drawing depicts a woman wearing a long, checkered coat with a wide-brimmed hat, standing in a sideways pose. The coat's design is highlighted through simple yet effective sketching, with a separate smaller drawing focusing on the coat and hat.

Technique & Style

The artist employed loose, quick lines to convey the folds and details of the coat, such as buttons. The use of cross-hatching is evident in building shading with layered lines.
