Kenora is a 1962 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a tied bow at the waist. Her hair is styled in a high, swirled updo, and she wears simple jewelry—just a few dots for earrings. The lines are loose but confident, with quick strokes for her arms and legs. The sketch feels like a quick, confident study rather than a polished finish. The artist used light shading to show the dress’s folds and the woman’s posture. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build form with lines.
