'Idole' 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 long, flowing dress with a wide skirt. The bodice is white with a floral pattern, and the skirt is a mix of brown and cream. Her pose is simple, with arms resting at her sides, and she wears small earrings and a necklace. The name "Idole" is written in the corner, suggesting this might be a design for a special outfit. The loose, quick lines give it a sketchy, almost hand-drawn feel. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
