Grand duc is a 1960 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a simple outline of a dress and a head. The lines are loose and quick, with no details like fabric texture or facial features. The dress has a long, flowing skirt with a slight flare at the bottom and a small waistline. The drawing is signed in the corner as *Grand duc 128*, but the exact meaning isn’t clear. The style feels more like a quick study than a finished work. If you like this kind of sketchy drawing, 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.
