Degas is a 1958 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
The painting depicts a woman in a formal dress, with her back to the viewer. She is wearing a strapless gown with a full skirt and a floral pattern. Her hair is styled in an updo, and she is holding a rose to her nose. To the left of the woman is a small drawing of a dress, which appears to be a design for the woman's gown. The dress is shown from the front, with a full skirt and a fitted bodice. The painting is a drawing by Carven, held at the Museum of Ethnography.

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