'Constellation' is a 1949 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a deep V-neck and fitted waist. Her skirt flares out wide, and she’s holding a railing with one hand. The dress has a dotted pattern, and her hair is pulled back neatly. The lines are loose but confident, with quick strokes and some smudges. The artist signed it “Constellation” in the corner, which might hint at the dress’s star-like pattern. The drawing feels like a quick study—maybe for fashion or a costume idea.
