Dominant colour
Nandinh is a 1959 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Ensemble, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a simple, dark outfit with a textured jacket and matching skirt. Her pose is relaxed, with one hand on her hip and the other tucked into her pocket. Next to her is a quick sketch of the same outfit from the front, showing just the basic shape. The artist used loose, confident lines to draw the clothes and body, focusing on shape over detail. The jacket’s texture looks like it was added with quick, uneven strokes. If you like this style, look up ensemble to see how fashion and art mix in other drawings.
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.
