'Duchesse de Chambord' 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, strapless gown with a fitted bodice and a wide, flowing skirt. The bodice is decorated with a floral pattern in purple and gold, while the skirt is a soft, gradient purple. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears simple jewelry—just a bracelet and earrings. The name *"Duchesse de Chambord"* is written in the corner, suggesting this dress might have been designed for someone with that title. The loose, sketchy lines give it a quick, almost hand-drawn feel. If you like this style, check out Carven for more fashion-inspired art.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
