Sheherazade is a 1953 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress with a fitted bodice and a long, draped skirt. Her arms are outstretched, and she wears long gloves. The drawing is loose and quick, with light pencil strokes and some shading on the dress and sleeves. The name *Sheherazade* suggests a connection to the storyteller from *One Thousand and One Nights*. The sketch feels like a quick study, not a finished work. Look up Carven to see more of their fashion sketches.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
