'Véronique' is a 1949 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a flowing dress with a high waist and layered ruffles at the hem. The fabric looks light and airy, with small dots of color scattered across it. Her pose is loose and graceful, with one arm bent at the elbow and the other hand resting near her chest. The drawing uses fine, crisscrossed lines to create shading and texture, giving the dress depth without heavy detail. The signature in the corner reads "Carven," and two small round stamps appear on the page. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build form with lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
