'Grain de café' is a 1949 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 simple, brown outfit. She’s wearing a long skirt with a belt, a matching jacket, and a light scarf at her neck. The lines are loose and quick, with a few small yellow dots on the belt. The title *Grain de café* (which means "grain of coffee") might hint at the color or texture of the fabric. The drawing feels like a quick study, not a finished portrait. Check out Marie-Louise Carven, the artist who made this.
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.
