Fakir is a 1959 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Belt, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple outfit: a short jacket with three buttons, a knee-length skirt, and a small belt at her waist. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one hand on her hip. In the background, two smaller drawings show similar figures in different poses. The jacket’s fabric looks textured, almost like it’s made of a thick material. The artist used quick, confident lines to show the folds and shape. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.
Marie-Louise Carven (31 August 1909 – 8 June 2015), born Carmen de Tommaso, was a French fashion designer who founded the house of Carven in 1945.
