'Gaufrette' 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 sleek black dress. The top has big, padded shoulders and a deep neckline. The skirt is long and flared, drawn in loose brushstrokes that make it look like flowing fabric. The artist signed it "Carven" in the corner, hinting this was a fashion drawing. The loose, sketchy lines focus on movement and shape, not detail. Next, look up Carven to see more of their bold designs.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
