About this work
Overview
Edouard is a drawing created by the fashion designer Carven around 1955. It is part of the collection at the Museum of Ethnography.
Subject & Meaning
The drawing depicts a woman in a bold red coat with a flat-brimmed hat, holding a small object. The signature 'Edouard' is likely a pseudonym or misnomer, as it does not appear to be the subject's name.
Technique & Style
The work is characterized by sharp lines, a plain background, and a sketchy quality, suggesting a fashion study. The bold use of color and line is consistent with Carven's style as a fashion designer.
