'Eventail' 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 loose, blue dress with a wide skirt. The dress has a simple collar and a belt at the waist. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with one hand on her hip. The artist signed it "Eventail" — that’s French for fan, maybe a nod to how the skirt flares. The lines are quick and confident, like a fashion sketch.
