'Quai d'Orsay' is a 1949 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length dress with a crisscross pattern. The fabric looks soft, and she’s wearing a simple belt at her waist. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s walking with one foot slightly ahead. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show the folds of the dress. The pattern is made with simple cross-hatching—just lines stacked to create shadow. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build depth with lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
