Coquin is a 1964 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Bikini, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple green bikini with pink trim on the straps and waistband. Her hair is loose, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. The lines are light and quick, almost like a quick note rather than a finished drawing. The name *Coquin* is signed in the corner, which might hint at something playful or cheeky. The drawing feels loose and sketchy, like it was made fast. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build shading with lines.
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.
