Nausicaa is a 1952 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
The image depicts a woman in a long, black dress with thin straps, facing away from the viewer. Her right hand is on her hip, and her left arm is bent at the elbow, with her hand near her waist. The dress features a high neckline and a bow at the back, just above the hem. The woman's hair is styled in an updo, and she wears a small earring on her left ear. The background of the image is a plain, off-white color, which provides a subtle contrast to the dark dress. The overall effect is one of understated elegance, with the woman's pose and attire conveying a sense of poise and refinement.

These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
