'Volantas' 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 layers of ruffles at the bottom. The dress has a checkered top and a wide skirt that flares out. Her arms are crossed, and she’s wearing a bow at the neck. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show the fabric’s movement. The signature in the corner reads “Volantas.” Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
