Albatros III is a 1960 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a sleek, dark dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. Her hair is styled in a short, curly updo, and she’s posing with one arm raised. To the right, there’s a simple line drawing of the same dress from the front, showing its shape more clearly. The artist used quick, confident strokes to capture the dress’s fabric folds. The sketch feels more like a fashion study than a finished portrait. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
