Cachou is a 1953 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress covered in small black polka dots. Her sleeves are three-quarter length, and the dress flares slightly at the bottom. She stands with one hand resting on her hip and the other dangling loosely, wearing low-heeled shoes. The artist used loose, quick lines to suggest fabric and movement, keeping the focus on the dress’s shape. The polka dots are drawn with light, even strokes—no shading, just flat marks. Next, check out stippling to see how artists create shading with dots instead of lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
