'Saint-Denis' is a 1951 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows two women in flowing dresses. One wears a simple, sleeveless top with a long skirt, while the other has a strapless gown with a wide, ruffled skirt. The background is mostly blank, with just a few loose brushstrokes and the word "Saint-Denis" written at the top. The artist used quick, loose lines and watercolor washes to capture movement. The dresses look light and airy, almost like they’re floating. Try looking up cross-hatching to see how artists create texture with lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
