Pélican is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
The image presents a drawing of a woman in profile, facing left. She is depicted wearing a long, yellow coat with a collar and a matching hat. Her right arm is bent at the elbow, and her left arm is not visible. The woman's legs are crossed at the ankles, and she appears to be wearing high heels. The background of the drawing is a light beige color. The drawing is rendered in a simple yet elegant style, with clean lines and minimal shading. The overall effect is one of understated sophistication. To learn more about the artist's use of cross-hatching and stippling techniques, explore the work of Marie-Louise Carven.
