Dominant colour
Dessin de collection de l'hiver 1949-1950 is a 1949 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a person dressed in a blue coat and black pants, standing on skis in a snowy landscape. They’re holding two ski poles and wearing a striped scarf wrapped around their neck. The background is mostly white and blue, with quick brushstrokes suggesting snow and sky. The artist used bold lines and simple shapes to make the figure stand out against the loose, sketchy background. The focus is on the person’s stance and gear, not the details of the scenery.
