Rossignol is a 1960 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing depicts a woman in a long, black dress with a bow at the top of her back. Her hair is styled in an updo, and she wears high heels. The dress appears to be made of a thick, possibly pleated material. The woman's face is turned to the side, and her body is angled in the same direction. Her right arm is bent at the elbow, with her hand resting near her hip. The background of the drawing is a light beige color. The simplicity of the drawing and the focus on the woman's attire suggest that the artist was interested in exploring the relationship between fashion and art. To learn more about the artist's use of technique, look up the concept of cross-hatching.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
