About this work
Overview
'Sierra' is a drawing created by Carven in 1951, currently held at the Museum of Ethnography.
Subject & Meaning
The sketch depicts a woman wearing a light blue, short-sleeved dress with white polka dots, standing with one hand on her hip. Her hair is pulled back, and the simple, flowing dress flares out slightly at the skirt.
Technique & Style
The drawing is characterized by loose, quick lines and a lack of detail. The artist has used cross-hatching on the right side to add texture, a technique involving layered lines to create shading and depth.
