'Chasseur d'Afrique' is a 1951 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a person in a loose, sleeveless dress with rolled-up pants tied at the ankles. One arm is bent at the elbow, holding something small, while the other arm swings open. The lines are quick and simple, with just a few shadows to show shape. The title *Chasseur d’Afrique* hints this might be a "hunter from Africa," but the outfit looks more like a fashion sketch than a portrait. The rolled pants and relaxed pose give it a casual, almost playful feel. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
