Poussière d'or is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Gold, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing features a woman in a flowing white dress with a subtle gold pattern, her back turned to the viewer. Her head is tilted slightly, and she wears high heels. The dress is sleeveless, with a low back, and appears to be made of a lightweight material that drapes elegantly around her body. The woman's pose is relaxed, with one leg slightly bent and her weight shifted onto one hip. Her hair is pulled back, revealing a simple yet elegant hairstyle. The overall effect is one of understated sophistication and refinement. The drawing is titled "Poussière d'or," which translates to "Golden Dust." The artist's use of subtle shading and delicate lines creates a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer's eye to the intricate details of the woman's dress and hairstyle.
