Caribou is a 1962 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman from behind, wearing a red-and-beige plaid suit with a matching jacket and skirt. She has a round hat on her head and holds a small bag in one hand while her other hand rests on her hip. The lines are simple and loose, focusing on the shape of her clothes and posture. The signature says "Caribou," which is also the title of this drawing. The artist used quick, sketchy strokes to capture the outfit’s details without fuss. Want to see more?
