'Isba' is a 1949 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a person in a loose, baggy suit with wide shoulders and deep pockets. Their arms are spread wide, like they’re mid-motion or posing for a photo. The outfit looks simple but stylish—plain buttons, straight legs, and simple shoes. The whole drawing is done in quick, sketchy lines with light shading. The name "Isba" is signed in the corner, but it’s unclear what it refers to. The style feels modern but not tied to any obvious time period. The loose, confident lines suggest it might be a fashion study or a quick idea sketch. If you like this style, look up 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.
