Bougainvilliers is a 1956 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a deep purple dress. The dress has a fitted top with thin straps and a flared skirt that spreads out wide. She’s holding the skirt slightly with one hand, and her other hand rests on her hip. The drawing is loose and quick, with watercolor shading and some pencil lines. The name *Bougainvilliers* is written at the top, and the number *36* appears twice on the page. This looks like a fashion sketch, likely meant to show how the dress would move. Look up Carven to see more of this artist’s work.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
