Pétunia is a 1951 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, sleeveless jacket with bright floral embroidery on the chest. She’s wearing a wide-brimmed red hat and a long skirt, holding a cigarette in one hand. The lines are quick and simple, with just a few colors—red, green, and brown—standing out against a plain background. The jacket’s embroidery looks like it’s inspired by fabric patterns, not painted details. The drawing feels more like a fashion sketch than a realistic portrait. If you like this style, check out Carven for more work like this.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
