Marabout is a work by Carven, created around 1960. It is a sketch showing a woman wearing a long coat, and is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
Subject & Meaning
The sketch depicts a woman from behind wearing a long, textured coat with a wide hem and her hands in pockets. A smaller accompanying drawing shows the coat's front and skirt.
Technique & Style
The loose, sketchy lines and rough texture suggest a quick, informal drawing style, similar to a fashion draft. The coat's pattern is rendered as dense, tiny dots or dashes.
