Bouton d'or
1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Bouton d'or is a 1956 by Carven, depicting Gold, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman standing straight, dressed in a simple white blouse and a long skirt that hits just above her ankles. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s wearing low-heeled shoes. The lines are loose and quick, with light shading to show folds in the fabric. The title *Bouton d’or* (French for “gold button”) hints at something small but important—maybe the buttons on her blouse or a detail we’re missing. The drawing feels like a quick study, not a finished portrait. If you like this style, check out Carven, the artist who made it.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
