About this work

Overview

Eglantine is a work created by Carven around 1967, currently held at the Museum of Ethnography.

Subject & Meaning

Technique & Style

The sketch combines clean lines with loose brushstrokes, conveying a sense of quick execution. The contrast between the detailed figure and the simpler coat drawing adds to the work's sketchy feel.
