'Vert pré' 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 from the back, wearing a long dress with a high neck and fitted sleeves. Her skirt flares out slightly, and she holds something small in her right hand. The drawing is loose and quick, with watercolor shading and simple linework. The artist signed it *"Vert pré"* (which means "green meadow" in French), hinting at a possible color scheme or theme. The style feels modern and sketchy, like a quick study rather than a polished work. Check out Carven to see more of their fashion-inspired art.
