J'adore is a 1956 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 veil. Her arms are raised, and she’s holding something small near her face. The lines are loose and quick, with a lot of scribbly marks filling the dress and veil, almost like writing. The name "J'adore" is written in the top right corner—it means "I adore" in French. The artist used a mix of light pencil and darker lines to fill in the shapes, giving it a busy, textured look. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build up shading with lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
