Pamplemousse is a 1956 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman from behind in a simple dress. The top is fitted with a square neckline and short sleeves, while the skirt flares out in soft folds. Tiny white dots line the skirt, and the whole drawing is done in loose, quick lines—some dark, some light. The title *Pamplemousse* (French for "grapefruit") hints at the dress’s shape, like the fruit’s segments. The artist’s name, Carven, is written in the corner, but no other details are visible.

These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
