Boléro is a 1958 by Carven, depicting Bolero, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a high neckline and wide sleeves. The dress is a warm yellow-orange color, and it has a train that sweeps the ground. Next to her is a smaller version of the dress, tied at the waist with a bow. The handwritten label says "Boléro," which might refer to the style of the dress. The drawing is loose and quick, with visible brushstrokes and some shading. Look up the bolero to see how this dress style fits into fashion history.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
