Virgile is a 1956 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman from behind, wearing a red-and-green floral dress with a fitted waist and full skirt. She’s holding a small object in her right hand, and her left arm rests at her side. A red hat sits snugly on her head, and her hair is pulled back. The drawing is loose and quick, with bold outlines and splashes of color that feel fresh and lively. The floral pattern on her dress looks almost like scattered paint—some flowers are full, others just hints. Look up Carven for more sketches like this.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
