Olympia is a 1958 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose purple dress with a draped top and a full, flared skirt. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one hand on her hip. To the side is a smaller drawing of the dress from the back, showing how it ties at the waist. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show fabric folds and movement. The purple stands out against the plain background, making the dress the focus. Check out the Museum of Ethnography to see this drawing in person.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
