'Paratonnerre' is a 1949 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing features a woman wearing a long coat with two large pockets, one on each side. The coat is buttoned up and has a collar, and the woman's hands are tucked into the pockets. The woman's face is not visible, and she appears to be wearing a dress or skirt underneath the coat. The drawing is done in a simple, yet elegant style, with clean lines and minimal shading. The woman's pose suggests that she is standing, possibly waiting for something or someone. The overall mood of the drawing is one of quiet contemplation, with the woman lost in thought. If you're interested in learning more about the artist behind this piece, you might want to look up Carven next.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
