Duchesse d'Albe
1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Duchesse d'Albe is a 1958 by Carven, 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 wide skirt covered in tiny floral patterns. The fabric looks soft and layered, with a high neckline and short sleeves. Her hair is pulled up, and she stands with one hand resting on her chest. The dress’s skirt is filled with delicate, almost sketchy-looking flowers, giving it a light, airy feel. The artist used quick, loose lines to show the folds and texture of the fabric. This style of drawing is called cross-hatching.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
