Armide is a 1961 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman standing straight, wearing a simple light gray dress that flares at the knees. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she holds a small purse in one hand. The lines are loose but confident, with quick strokes that suggest movement. The artist signed it "Armide," but the drawing itself looks more like a quick fashion study than a finished portrait. The light touch and sketchy style make it feel like a glimpse into how clothes were drawn in a hurry. If you like this style, look up Carven for more of their work.
