Babouche is a 1953 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 sleek, dark outfit with bold diagonal stripes. Her long-sleeved top has a deep neckline and buttons down the front, while her skirt hits just above the ankle. One hand rests on her hip, and she wears simple, pointed shoes. The name "Babouche" is scrawled in the corner—likely the outfit’s title. The stripes and shading give the fabric texture without heavy detail. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
