'Magellan' is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, checkered jacket and a wide-brimmed hat. She’s holding a small hat in one hand, and her coat flares open to reveal a flowing skirt underneath. The lines are bold and simple, with quick strokes that keep it light and sketchy. The artist’s name, *Magellan*, is signed in the corner—maybe the woman’s name or a nod to travel. The drawing feels quick, like a fashion sketch rather than a finished portrait. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven for more of her work.
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.
