'Lucifer' is a 1949 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a tall, slender figure in a long black dress with a white collar and cuffs. The person’s arms are raised, holding a long, thin object like a baton or cane. The background is mostly blank, with just a few loose lines and two small circles on the left side. The artist used simple black ink on a light paper, keeping it clean and bold. The figure’s face is just a smooth oval with no details. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth 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.
