Esmeralda 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. The bodice has a dark blue pattern, while the skirt is light gray and wide. Her hair is styled neatly, and she wears gloves. A separate train is drawn to one side, like a dress that unfolds dramatically. The artist used quick, loose lines to suggest fabric and movement. The name *Esmeralda* is written in the corner, which might hint at the dress’s style or inspiration. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists create texture with lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
