Grand duc is a 1960 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing features a woman in a long, dark dress with a full skirt and a high neckline. The dress is adorned with a pattern of swirls and curls, and the woman's hair is styled in an updo. Her face is turned to the side, and she appears to be wearing a hat or headpiece. The woman's attire suggests a formal or elegant occasion, and the style of the drawing is reminiscent of fashion illustrations from the early 20th century. The use of bold lines and expressive brushstrokes adds a sense of energy and movement to the piece. To learn more about the artist's technique, explore the world of cross-hatching.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
