'Croquet' is a 1949 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
The image shows a simple drawing of a woman in a long coat. She is standing with her left leg slightly bent, and her right arm is hanging down by her side. The coat is open, and her left hand is tucked into the pocket. The drawing is done in a minimalist style, with clean lines and minimal shading. The drawing is done on a piece of paper that has a few holes punched in it, suggesting that it may have been part of a notebook or sketchbook. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's technique, you might want to look into cross-hatching.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
