Rose de sable is a 1956 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple dress with a flared skirt. She holds a cigarette in one hand, looking slightly to the side. The dress has a few quick brushstrokes of flowers on it, and the whole drawing is done in soft browns and light colors. The title *Rose de sable* (which means "rose of sand") hints at the muted tones and delicate style. The drawing feels quick and loose, like a fashion sketch rather than a finished portrait. If you like this style, check out Carven for more work like this.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
