Karim is a 1959 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 black dress with short sleeves and a fitted waist. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with one hand on her hip. Around her are quick pencil outlines of the same dress from different angles, plus a jacket and a blouse. The artist focused on clean lines and basic shapes, making the drawing look both easy and precise. The black dress stands out against the light background, drawing your eye to its shape.
