Obscur is a 1955 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, sleek black dress with a strapless top and a fitted waist. Her hair is pulled back, and she holds a small clutch in one hand. The lines are loose and quick, with some areas left blank to show light. The dress has a simple but striking design, with a row of small shapes near the waist. The artist used light pencil strokes to suggest fabric and movement. Try looking up cross-hatching to see how artists create texture with lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
