Charlotte
1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Charlotte is a 1953 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing pink dress with a fitted bodice and a wide skirt. The dress has a square neckline and short puffed sleeves, with small white flowers scattered across the skirt. The lines are loose and quick, giving it a hand-drawn feel. The name "Charlotte" is written in the top corner, which might be the dress’s design name or the model’s name. The artist used simple shapes and light shading to suggest fabric and movement. Check out the technique: cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
