Dominant colour
Messager is a 1957 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Stone, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a man in a light blue suit, standing sideways with his hands behind his back. His jacket has two buttons, and his pants are straight-legged with a slight crease. In the corner, there’s a small drawing of a matching shirt, also in blue. The artist labeled this drawing “Messager,” which means “messenger” in French. The loose, quick lines make the figure look like a simple sketch rather than a detailed portrait. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
