Charmille is a 1956 by Carven, depicting Multicolored, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The dress has a bold, multicolored pattern of splotches in yellow, blue, and brown. Her pose is relaxed, with one hand resting on her hip and the other lightly holding the skirt. The name "Charmille" is written in the top right corner, likely the dress’s name. The drawing uses quick, confident lines with some cross-hatching for shading. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
