'perle Grise' is a 1951 by Carven, depicting Bead, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a flowing dress with a fitted top and a wide, layered skirt. The top has a floral pattern in soft grays and blues, while the skirt flares out in ruffles. Her pose is relaxed, with one arm resting on her hip and the other hand near her chest. The dress looks like it’s made of lightweight fabric, maybe for dancing or a special event. The artist signed it “Perle Grise,” which means “gray pearl” in French. If you like this style, look up bead to see how details like these were made.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
