Dominant colour
'Grêlons' is a 1949 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a simple, elegant pose. She’s wearing a long black dress with a high collar dotted with small yellow shapes. The skirt has a slight train, and her hair is pulled back neatly. The background is plain, keeping all focus on her figure. The artist used quick, confident lines to sketch her in black ink. The yellow dots on the collar stand out against the dark fabric, adding a small pop of color. The signature in the corner reads "Carven." If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next.
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.
