Pirate is a 1952 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman from behind, walking away. She’s wearing a black dress with a high collar and a wide skirt that flares out. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s holding a cigarette in one hand. The word "Pirate" is scrawled in the corner—maybe the dress name or a nickname. The artist used quick, loose lines to draw the outfit and figure. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
