About this work
Overview
'Pesage' is a 1949 work by Carven, held at the Museum of Ethnography.
Subject & Meaning
The image depicts a woman wearing a long, flowing dress with off-the-shoulder sleeves and a wide-brimmed hat. The loose, draped skirt and fabric folds suggest a sense of movement.
Technique & Style
Executed in light pencil marks with quick, confident strokes, the sketch emphasizes the fabric's movement and the woman's form. A pattern of small shapes is indicated on the dress, but detail is minimal.

These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
