Fondante is a 1953 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman from the back, walking with one arm slightly raised. She wears a sleeveless dress with a dark, textured skirt and a lighter top. The lines in the skirt look woven, almost like fabric threads. The word *Fondante* is written in the corner—maybe the dress name or a style note. The artist used quick, loose strokes to show movement and texture. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
