Collet noir is a 1957 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting stone, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
The image depicts a drawing of a woman in a dress, with a smaller sketch of the dress to her right. The woman has short hair and is wearing a sleeveless dress with a high neckline and a skirt that falls just below her knees. She is facing to the left, with her weight shifted onto her right leg. The drawing is rendered in a simple, elegant style, with clean lines and minimal shading. The overall effect is one of understated sophistication, with the woman's pose and expression conveying a sense of quiet confidence. This drawing is reminiscent of the work of Marie-Louise Carven, who was known for her elegant and refined depictions of women.
