'Anfa' is a 1949 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, flowing dress with a high collar and puffy sleeves. She’s holding a long cigarette holder in one hand, her other hand resting on her hip. The lines are simple and confident, with quick strokes for the hat and dress details. Notice how the artist used light shading and a few bold lines to suggest fabric and movement. The drawing feels quick, like a snapshot of a moment. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with layered lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
