'Goelette' is a 1951 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a fitted navy dress with a checkered bodice and a flowing skirt. Her pose is confident, with one hand on her hip and the other holding the skirt. The lines are loose but precise, and the colors are simple—mostly navy, white, and a hint of brown for the shoes. The signature in the corner reads "Carven," and the title "Goelette" is written below. The drawing feels like a quick study, almost like a fashion sketch rather than a finished portrait. If you like this style, look up Carven for more work by the same artist.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
