Cirsé is a 1952 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a high neckline and cap sleeves. The dress has a fitted bodice with a beaded or embroidered pattern, flaring into a wide skirt that looks like it’s made of layers of fabric. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s resting her hand lightly on her head. The loose, sketchy lines make the drawing feel quick and alive, as if the artist was capturing movement with just a few strokes. The word *"cirsé"* is written in the corner—it’s the title of this piece. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build form with lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
