'Alpe' is a 1949 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows two stick-like figures on skis. One stands tall with arms outstretched, holding ski poles. The other is smaller, bent forward as if skiing. Both wear bulky jackets and pants, and the background is plain. The bigger figure’s skis are long and narrow, almost like a pair of crossed sticks. The artist signed it "Alpe" in the corner, which hints at mountain skiing. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists use lines to create shading.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
