Orgeuilleuse is a 1955 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a fitted bodice and a wide, flared skirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with one hand resting on her head. The lines are loose but confident, and the whole drawing is mostly in shades of gray and brown. The word "Orgueilleuse" is written at the top—it’s French for "proud." The sketch feels quick, like it was drawn fast but with purpose. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
