'Hermine' is a 1949 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Ermine, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows two women in long, flowing wedding dresses. The dresses have full skirts and high necklines, with one woman holding her train. The artist used loose brushstrokes and simple lines to capture the shapes, keeping colors muted and soft. The signature in the corner reads "Hermine," which might be the name of the design or the woman. The dresses look elegant but not overly detailed, focusing more on the overall shape than tiny stitches or fabrics.
