Hortense is a 1955 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
The painting depicts a woman wearing a black dress with a full skirt, standing with her left leg slightly bent. The dress has a V-neckline and is adorned with small dots along the edges. The woman's face is not visible, and she has short hair. The background of the painting is a light beige color, which provides a subtle contrast to the dark dress. The overall effect is one of elegance and simplicity. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's technique, you might want to explore the use of cross-hatching.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
