Dominant colour
'Coq de Roche' is a 1949 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a loose, black dress with a plaid vest and a belt. Her hair is swept back, and she holds a cigarette in one hand. The background is mostly blank, with quick, sketchy lines around her legs and a big splash of pink near her head. The signature reads "Coq de Roche," which is also the title of the drawing. The style is loose and fast, like a quick sketch rather than a detailed portrait. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
Marie-Louise Carven (31 August 1909 – 8 June 2015), born Carmen de Tommaso, was a French fashion designer who founded the house of Carven in 1945.
