Aurore boréale is a 1962 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This image shows a woman in a long dress, facing away from the viewer. She has her hair up in a bun and is wearing a long, white dress with a patterned sash down the side. The dress is draped elegantly over her body, with one shoulder exposed. The pattern on the sash is intricate and detailed, adding texture to the overall image. The woman's pose is graceful, with her head turned slightly to the side. The image is a drawing, with bold lines and shading that give it depth and dimension. The artist's use of cross-hatching creates a sense of texture and volume, making the woman's dress and hair look almost three-dimensional. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's technique, you might want to look up cross-hatching.
