Aragon is a 1963 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting breech, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman standing sideways, wearing a simple white top with a collar and a wide black skirt with a bold pattern. Her hair is pulled into a loose, curly updo, and she’s holding her skirt slightly with one hand. The drawing is loose and quick, with clean lines and some shading for depth. The name *Aragon* is written in the corner, but we don’t know what it refers to. The artist’s initials, *CH*, are also signed in the bottom right. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching—it’s a technique that uses layers of lines to create shading.
