'Charles X' is a 1951 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, 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 collar and puffy sleeves. Her skirt flares out slightly, and she stands with one hand on her hip. The drawing is mostly black and white with a few light strokes for shading. The artist signed it "Charles X" in the corner, though it’s unclear if that’s the woman’s name or a title. The loose, brushy lines make it look like a quick study rather than a polished work. If you like fashion sketches, check out womenswear from the 1930s for more designs like this.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
