Cerf-volant is a 1955 by Carven, depicting Ruffle, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a person from behind, wearing a long coat with big pockets and a flared skirt. Their arms are crossed, and the coat has a loose collar tied at the neck. The drawing is loose and quick, with soft watercolor shading. The title *Cerf-volant* (which means "kite" in French) hints at something playful or light. The style feels simple but intentional, like a quick study of movement or fashion. Check out Carven to see more of their work.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
