Sacré Coeur is a 1958 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman from behind, wearing a voluminous dress with a high collar and puffy sleeves. Her skirt flares out wide, and she holds it slightly away from her legs. The lines are bold and simple, with flat areas of pale gray and brown. The artist focused on the shape of the dress, not details. The hand holding the skirt is small but clear, adding a tiny human touch to the big garment. Look up 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.
