Trottin is a 1958 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, dark dress with a checkered pattern and a matching jacket. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she’s walking with one leg slightly ahead. To the right, there’s a simpler drawing of the same outfit from the front, showing the dress’s full shape. The artist used quick, confident lines to capture movement and fabric texture. The checkered pattern is drawn with light shading, giving it depth without heavy detail. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
