St Jacques is a 1952 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a man in a long, brown coat with a high collar. His left hand rests on his hip, and his right arm is bent behind him. The coat has a belt and buttons down the front, and the sleeves are slightly puffy at the shoulder. The drawing is loose and quick, with simple lines and smudged shading. The name "St Jacques" is written in the corner, but it’s unclear if that’s the person’s name or the title. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build form with lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
