Albatros III is a 1960 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows two simple figures wearing long, flowing dresses. The lines on the dresses look like stacked fabric folds, drawn with quick, tight strokes. The figures stand side by side, facing slightly different directions, with no faces or extra details. The drawing uses a technique where lines overlap to create shading. It’s signed "Albatros III" in the corner, which might be the name of the design. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines like this.
