Polka is a 1956 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing depicts a woman in a blue plaid dress, with her hands in her pockets. The dress is knee-length and has a fitted waist, with a high neckline and short sleeves. The woman's hair is styled in a short, neat bob. The drawing is rendered in a simple yet elegant style, with clean lines and minimal shading. The overall effect is one of understated sophistication, as if the artist is showcasing the beauty of the subject's attire rather than the subject herself. The drawing is a testament to the enduring appeal of classic fashion, and its simplicity makes it accessible to a wide range of viewers.

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