About this work

Overview

Ivoire is a 1963 work by Carven, held at the Museum of Ethnography.

Subject & Meaning

The drawing depicts a woman in a simple outfit, wearing a light-colored coat, matching skirt, and hat. Her relaxed pose, with one hand in her pocket, conveys a sense of ease.

Technique & Style

Soft, loose lines are used to suggest fabric and movement. The artist's use of line work creates a sense of fluidity, and the written word 'Ivoire' in the corner may reference the material or color palette.
