Corail is a 1952 by Carven, depicting Coral, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing red gown. Her arms are raised behind her head, holding up the fabric. The dress has a fitted bodice and a wide, sloping skirt with vertical lines running down it. The drawing is loose and quick, with bold strokes and some smudged areas. The name *Corail* (French for "coral") is written at the top, hinting at the dress’s color or inspiration. The sketch feels like a rough draft—more about shape and movement than detail.

These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
