About this work
Overview
Clefs d'or is a work by Carven, created around 1956. It is a simple line drawing of a woman in a strapless dress, held at the Museum of Ethnography.
Subject & Meaning
The title 'Clefs d'or', meaning 'gold keys' in French, is written in the top corner. The drawing depicts a woman wearing a pink dress with a fitted top and a flowing skirt that stops just above her knees.
Technique & Style
The dress's simple design and loose brushwork suggest a fashion sketch rather than a detailed portrait. The plain background lets the figure stand out clearly.
