Mariette is a 1959 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing wedding dress with a veil. Her pose is simple: one hand rests on her hip, the other hangs loose. Next to her is a mannequin wearing a similar dress, but with a different neckline. The lines are loose and quick, with some areas filled in lightly. The artist used thin, sketchy strokes to show fabric folds and shadows. The focus is on the shapes and movement of the dresses, not detail. 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.
