'Arrêt-Buffet' is a 1949 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows two women in long, flowing dresses with big skirts. One dress has a bright yellow collar, while the other has a yellow belt. The lines are loose but full of tiny marks that create shading—no smooth colors here. The dresses look like they’re from a time when skirts were huge and dramatic. The artist used a technique called cross-hatching to fill in the shapes instead of solid colors. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
