Croquet is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows two women in simple, flowing dresses with patterned fabric. One stands tall, holding a small object like a racket, while the other stands smaller beside her. The lines are loose and quick, with light shading to show folds in the clothes. The larger figure looks like she’s ready to play croquet, a game with mallets and balls. The word "Croquet" is even written at the top of the page. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
