'Maria-Candelaria' 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 sleek, two-piece outfit. The top is short-sleeved with a round neckline and a simple pattern near the collar. The skirt is flared, flowing down to her knees, with a darker band near the waist. The lines are loose but confident, and the whole thing feels quick to draw. The name "Maria-Candelaria" is scrawled in the corner, which might be the dress’s name or the woman’s. The drawing looks like it was made fast—just ink and a few watery washes.
