Jacinthe is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, dark dress with a deep V-neck and flared skirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears simple jewelry and high heels. The dress has a textured look, almost like woven fabric, with a belt cinching her waist. The name "Jacinthe" is written at the top, and the artist’s initials, "Cv," appear in the corner. The drawing is loose and quick, with visible brushstrokes and shading. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create texture with lines.
Marie-Louise Carven (31 August 1909 – 8 June 2015), born Carmen de Tommaso, was a French fashion designer who founded the house of Carven in 1945.
