Pénélope is a 1952 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long purple dress with a deep V-neck and puffed sleeves. The skirt is wide and flowing, while the bodice has a floral pattern near the shoulders. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she’s facing away from us. The name *Pénélope* is written in the corner—it’s not a person but the dress’s title. The loose, confident lines suggest it was drawn quickly, maybe for a fashion project. Check out Carven, the artist behind this sketch.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
