'Claude' is a 1951 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long black dress with a deep V-neckline. The sleeves are puffy at the shoulders, and the skirt is straight and narrow. Her pose is simple—one arm rests on her hip, the other hangs loosely. The background is plain, and the lines are loose but confident. The artist signed it "Claude," but this is actually the dress’s name, not the woman’s. The drawing looks like it was made quickly, with bold strokes and a few quick lines for the legs and arms.

These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
