Chloé is a 1965 by Carven, depicting breech, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple outfit: a loose pullover and wide-legged trousers. Her hair is drawn in soft waves, and she stands with one hand on her hip. The drawing is light and quick, with just a few lines to suggest her shape. The artist used loose strokes, barely filling in the colors—yellow for the pants, a pale brown for the top. The background is almost blank, keeping all focus on the figure. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build form with just lines.
