'n°248' 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 loose, flowing black dress with a wide neckline. The collar and cuffs have a bright orange floral pattern. Her hair is pulled back under a wide-brimmed hat, and the lines are quick and simple, almost like a quick sketch. The drawing feels more like a fashion idea than a finished portrait. The artist used light pencil strokes and a few bold marks to show fabric folds and movement. Check out 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.
