'Vert-de-gris' is a 1949 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, dark outfit with a high collar and a belted jacket. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s striking a pose with one arm outstretched. The lines are loose but confident, and the whole scene feels quick—like a snapshot of a moment. The outfit looks practical, maybe for everyday wear, with clean shapes and no frills. The label in the corner says *"Vert-de-gris"*, which is a strange name for a drawing. If you like this style, check out Carven, the artist who made it.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
