Epanouie 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 flowing blue dress with a fitted bodice and a wide, flared skirt. Her hair is styled in a simple updo, and she stands confidently with one leg slightly forward. The lines are loose but confident, with quick brushstrokes and a few darker shadows under the arms and skirt. The name "Epanouie" is written in the top right corner, which might hint at the dress’s design or movement. The sketch includes a smaller, rougher outline of the same dress from behind, showing how it would look in motion. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with layered lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
