'Antilles' is a 1951 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a flowing, long dress with bold floral prints in black, pink, and green. Her arms are raised—one hand holds a cigarette, the other is open. The dress has puffed short sleeves and a fitted waist that flares into a wide skirt. The loose, sketchy lines and quick brushstrokes give it an energetic, unfinished look. The name "Antilles" is signed in the corner, likely a nod to the dress’s tropical-inspired pattern. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
