Nymphe
1957
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Nymphe is a 1957 by Carven, depicting Bustier, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a flowing dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The lines are loose and quick, giving the figure movement. The dress has a simple belt at the waist, and the skirt swirls around her legs. The word "Nymphe" is written in the corner, which might hint at the dress’s name or style. The artist used light pencil strokes and some watercolor washes for shading. Look up Carven to see more of their fashion sketches.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
