Overview
Muraille is a sketch created by Carven around 1958, currently held at the Museum of Ethnography.
Subject & Meaning
The sketch depicts a woman wearing a loose, black-and-white dress with a high collar and wide sleeves, rendered in a relaxed pose with one hand on her hip.
Technique & Style
The dress is characterized by bold, blocky shapes achieved through quick, flat brushstrokes, while a simple line drawing to the right provides a frontal view of the same garment.
