Chouette is a 1960 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 simple black dress with a square neckline and a slight A-line shape. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. To the right, there’s a quick outline of the dress’s back view. The artist used loose, quick lines to capture the dress’s shape and fabric texture. The sketch feels more like a fashion sketch than a detailed portrait. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
