Albâtre is a 1965 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a simple figure wearing a long, light-blue coat. The head is odd—just a smooth oval with a red circle on top, like a helmet or a hat. The coat has two buttons and a collar, but the face is blank, with just a tiny line for a mouth. The name *Albâtre* is written in the corner, which might mean "alabaster," a pale stone. The clean lines and flat colors make it look like a sketch for clothing, not a full portrait. Want to see more work like this? Check out Marie-Louise Carven.
