'Memphis' is a 1949 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 high waist and a draped skirt. Her arms are raised, holding something small near her chest. The background is plain, but her dress has a faint pattern of tiny figures or shapes near the neckline. The drawing is loose and quick, with some areas left blank to show light. The artist signed it “Memphis” in the corner. 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.
