Coryphée is a 1956 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a sleek, strapless dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The fabric looks textured, with subtle shading to show folds. Her pose is confident, one hand resting on her hip, the other loose at her side. The word *Coryphée* is written in the corner—it’s French for a lead dancer in ballet. That might hint at why the dress looks so precise and elegant. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines like these.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
