'Azur' is a 1949 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with wide sleeves and a belted waist. Her hands rest on her hips, and she wears simple jewelry—a ring and a bracelet. The lines are loose and quick, with some shading for depth. The artist signed it “Azur” in the corner, which might hint at the light blue-gray tones used. The drawing feels like a quick study, not a finished portrait. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
