About this work
Overview
Sombrero is a drawing created by Carven around 1958, currently held at the Museum of Ethnography.
Subject & Meaning
The drawing depicts a woman in a black outfit, featuring a short jacket and matching skirt, with a small hat. The title 'Sombrero', meaning 'hat' in Spanish, is somewhat misleading as the headwear resembles a cap rather than a hat.
Technique & Style
Executed in a loose and rapid style, the sketch employs bold lines and minimal shading, capturing the subject's confident pose. A simple line drawing of the jacket's back view is also included.
Artist & collection
Artist
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
