Madame
1957
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Madame is a 1957 by Carven, depicting Ensemble, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a mid-century dress with a checkered jacket and a flared skirt. Her hair is styled neatly, and she wears simple shoes. To the right are three flat drawings of the same outfit—front, back, and side views—like a pattern draft. The word *Madame* is scrawled in the corner, maybe naming the design or the model. The lines are loose but precise, focusing on shape and fabric folds. Check out 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.
