Bas-relief is a 1959 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, sleeveless dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The dress has a strapless neckline and a few loose brushstrokes of fabric texture near the hem. To the right, there’s a small flat drawing of the dress from the back, showing how it would look without the skirt. The handwritten label in the corner reads *"Bas-relief"*—a term usually tied to shallow carvings, but here it might just be the artist’s note. The loose, quick lines suggest this was a fast study, not a polished final piece. If you like this sketchy style, look up cross-hatching.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
