Grain de riz is a 1951 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, elegant outfit. She wears a fitted jacket with three buttons, a high-necked top, and a full, flared skirt that hits just above her ankles. Her pose is relaxed, with one hand resting on her hip and the other holding the jacket open slightly. The drawing is loose and quick, with soft shading and minimal details. The label "grain de riz" likely refers to the skirt’s shape—it means "grain of rice" in French, matching the skirt’s wide, pleated look. The artist’s signature, *Carven*, is small but clear at the bottom. Next, check out Carven to see more of their fashion-inspired art.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
