'Demi-teinte' is a 1949 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a dark skirt and a plaid overlay at the sides. She’s wearing a matching plaid jacket and a belt cinching her waist. The drawing is loose and quick, with light pencil lines and a few darker strokes to define shapes. The artist signed it “Carven,” and the title *Demi-teinte* (which means “half-tone” in French) hints at the mix of dark and light in the fabric. The sketch feels like a quick study—maybe for a fashion design. If you like this style, look up Carven for more of their work.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
