'Duchesse de Bordeaux' 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, flowing evening gown. The dress has a draped bodice with a deep V-neck and wide sleeves, while the skirt flares out dramatically. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with one hand on her hip, looking confident. The label in the corner reads *"Duchesse de Bordeaux"*, which likely refers to the dress’s name or the person it was designed for. The loose, sketchy lines suggest it’s a quick study rather than a finished work. Check out Carven, the artist behind this drawing.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
