'Infante' is a 1951 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a fitted bodice and wide skirt. The dress has a floral pattern on the bodice and puffy sleeves. The skirt flares out dramatically, almost like rays of light. The woman’s pose is simple—one hand rests on her hip, the other hangs loosely. The sketch uses quick, loose lines to suggest fabric and movement, with darker strokes defining the dress’s shape. The background is almost blank, keeping all focus on the dress itself. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
