Dragée is a 1953 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This is a loose, quick sketch of a woman in a long, flowing dress. The dress is gray with a wide skirt, and the top has a draped, off-the-shoulder look with a hint of pink underneath. Her arms are crossed, and she’s wearing simple shoes and a small necklace with an orange dot on her chest. The drawing feels effortless, like it was made fast with a few confident strokes. The word *Dragée* is scrawled in the corner—maybe the dress’s name or a note from the artist. If you like this sketchy style, check out cross-hatching next.
