Pagode is a 1951 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing depicts a woman in a dress, with her arms outstretched and her right leg extended behind her. The dress is white with black stripes and has a full skirt that flares out around her legs. The woman's face is not visible, and her hair is styled in a short, curly fashion. The drawing is rendered in a loose, expressive style, with bold lines and minimal shading. The overall effect is one of movement and energy, as if the woman is about to step out of the frame. The drawing is titled "Pagode" and is held at the Museum of Ethnography.

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