'Téléphérique' is a 1949 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a person holding a long, thin pole with a handle at the top. They’re dressed in a loose jacket, pants, and shoes, standing sideways with one arm raised. The background is just a few quick brushstrokes—no details, just a light brown wash. The artist signed it *"Téléphérique"* at the bottom, which hints at the pole being some kind of cable or lift. The lines are simple but confident, with a few small circles on the pole that might be details like pulleys or grips. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
