Iceberg is a 1962 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with three-quarter sleeves. The dress is simple but has a row of small, round buttons down the front. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. The drawing is loose and quick, with light shading to show the fabric’s shape. The artist used thin, sketchy lines to keep it simple. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build 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.
