'Equipage' is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, striped red dress with a matching jacket. Her pose is confident, one hand on her hip and the other loose at her side. The lines are simple but bold, focusing on the shape of the outfit. The word *Equipage* is scrawled in the corner—maybe it’s the dress’s name. The artist used quick, clean strokes to show fabric folds and pockets. Want to see more? Check out cross-hatching to learn how artists build texture with lines.
