Montagnes bleues is a 1962 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, dark coat with a high collar. She’s wearing a big hat and gloves, standing straight with one hand resting on her hip. The coat has sharp lines and folds, and the whole drawing is done in black and gray tones. The title *Montagnes bleues* (which means "blue mountains") hints this might be a fashion sketch, not a portrait. The artist used quick, confident strokes to show the fabric’s texture. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see 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.
