Rapace is a 1960 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman from behind, wearing a long black dress with a deep back and a wide skirt. Her hair is pulled up, and she holds a small object near her face. To the right, there’s a simple line drawing of the dress’s shape. The artist used quick, loose lines to capture the dress’s flow and volume. The sketch feels sketchy on purpose—like a first idea, not a finished work. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
