Lautrec is a 1958 by Carven, depicting Stripe, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing pink dress with a fitted bodice and flared skirt. Her hair is pulled up, and she’s wearing simple ballet slippers. To the right, there’s a smaller drawing of the dress’s back view, showing how it’s fastened. The artist used quick, loose lines to suggest movement, with soft shading for the dress’s folds. The pink and purple tones make the fabric look light and airy. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build shading with lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
