'Bleu ciel' is a 1949 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman walking sideways, dressed in a long, flowing dress and a fitted jacket. Her hair is pulled back, and she holds her coat closed at the waist. The lines are loose and quick, with soft gray washes for shading. The title *Bleu ciel* (which means "sky blue" in French) hints the dress might have been that color, though here it’s drawn in neutral tones. The artist signed it simply with their name.

These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
