Blé noir is a 1951 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 black dress with a deep V-neck and matching skirt. She wears a white scarf at her neck and black heels, standing confidently with one hand on her hip. The background is plain, keeping all focus on her pose and outfit. The drawing is loose and quick, with simple lines and light shading to show folds in the fabric. The artist signed it "Carven" in the corner. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
