Truite is a 1952 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman from behind, wearing a dark dress with a deep V-neck and a bow at the collar. The skirt is wide and flowing, almost like a bell, with soft folds that make it look light and airy. Her arms are relaxed at her sides, and the drawing is loose and quick, with watercolor washes for shading. The name "Truite" is scrawled in the corner—it’s not a person’s name here, but the dress’s code name. The sketch feels like a quick study, maybe for a fashion design, with just enough detail to show the shape and movement of the fabric. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
