'Idylle' is a 1949 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 a high neckline and a wide-brimmed hat. The lines are loose and quick, with some shading on the hat and dress. The figure stands alone against a plain background, looking slightly to the side. The artist signed it *"Idylle"* in the corner—simple and direct. The paper has two small circular holes, like it was once clipped to something. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
