Péché is a 1952 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 wide skirt. The fabric looks soft, with a few sparkles on the bodice and a darker trim at the waist. Her pose is confident, one arm bent behind her head, the other resting on her hip. The drawing uses quick, loose lines and watercolor washes to suggest movement. The name "Péché" is written in the corner, which means "sin" in French. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
