'Incas' 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 long, flowing purple dress with a draped top. The fabric has dark splashes and swirls, and her pose is confident, one hand on her hip. The background is plain, keeping all focus on the figure. The artist signed it "Incas" in the corner, but this is actually a fashion drawing. The loose, quick lines make it feel like a snapshot of style. Check out the technique: cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
