'Cortez' 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 loose, cropped jacket and matching pants. The fabric has a subtle checkered pattern, and her pose is relaxed—one hand rests on her hip. The lines are simple, with quick strokes that leave some areas lightly shaded. The artist signed it "Cortez," but the name is actually Carven, a designer known for modern fashion. The drawing looks like it was made fast, maybe during a fitting or a quick sketch session. If you like this style, look up Carven to see more of their work.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
