Opium is a 1955 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman from behind, wearing a long coat with wide sleeves and a high collar. The coat is dark and loose, flaring out at the sides, while her hair is pulled back neatly. Her right hand is raised slightly, as if adjusting her coat or gesturing. The drawing is simple but focused on the shape and flow of the fabric. The artist used quick, confident strokes to suggest movement without over-detailing. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
