From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Déesse is a 1959 by Carven, depicting headscarf, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows two women in flowing dresses. The one in front wears a long, light-colored gown with a high neck and a veil. Behind her, another woman stands with a similar dress but no veil. Both have simple, clean lines and soft shading. The artist used quick, loose strokes to suggest fabric and movement. The dresses look light, almost like silk or cotton. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
