Escurial is a 1958 by Carven, depicting womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress with short sleeves and a high waist. Her hair is styled in a short bob, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. To the side are two flat drawings: one of a man’s shirt with a bow tie, the other of the dress itself. The drawing is loose and quick, focusing on shapes and fabric folds rather than detail. The black-and-white style keeps the eye on the lines and posture. Check out the Museum of Ethnography to see more works like this.
