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.
Artist & collection
