Algues is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Button, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing depicts a woman in a green coat with a full skirt, her left hand on her hip. The coat has a V-neckline and is fastened with three buttons down the front. The woman's face is turned to her left, and her hair is styled in an updo. The background of the drawing is a plain beige color, which provides a subtle contrast to the woman's green coat. The overall effect is one of understated elegance, with the woman's pose and attire conveying a sense of confidence and poise. The drawing is a beautiful example of the artist's skill and attention to detail. To learn more about the artist's technique, you can explore the topic of cross-hatching.
