Villandry is a 1958 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, elegant dress. The top is fitted with short sleeves and a row of small dots down the front. The skirt flares out slightly, also dotted with tiny patterns, and has a scalloped hem. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one leg slightly forward. The drawing uses loose, quick lines with watercolor washes for shading. The dots on the dress are drawn in carefully, almost like embroidery. Want to see more by this artist? Check out Carven.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
