'Bamboula' is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, flowing black dress with one arm resting on her hip and the other hand near her head. Her skirt flares out slightly, and her shoes have a simple strap. The drawing is mostly black and beige, with quick, confident lines. The name *Bamboula* is written in the corner—maybe a dance or a mood. The style feels loose and quick, like it was drawn fast. If you like this sketchy style, look up cross-hatching next.
Marie-Louise Carven (31 August 1909 – 8 June 2015), born Carmen de Tommaso, was a French fashion designer who founded the house of Carven in 1945.
