Violette is a 1951 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 bold purple and green patterns. Her arms are raised, as if she’s mid-movement, and she leans against a simple fence. The lines are loose and quick, with some areas left sketchy, while others—like the dress—have more color and texture. The name *Violette* is scrawled in the corner, which might hint at the woman’s name or the dress’s design. The drawing feels like a quick study, not a finished piece. Check out the museum: Museum of Ethnography to see more of this sketch.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
