Manteau fermé sous la poitrine avec chapeau is a 1967 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 long, simple coat that falls straight to her ankles. The coat has a high collar and a small belt at the waist. Her hair is styled in a neat bun, and she wears a hat that sits low on her head. The drawing includes a small, separate sketch of the coat’s front view, showing its clean lines and lack of pockets. The artist used quick, confident strokes to capture the shape and fabric. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading 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.
