Ours noir is a 1962 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a short, flared skirt and a ruffled hem. Her hair is styled in a neat updo, and she’s holding a small purse. The lines are loose but confident, with quick strokes that keep it simple. The sketch’s title, *Ours noir*, hints at its focus on black fabric—maybe a nod to evening wear. The artist’s handwriting in the corner looks like a signature, but it’s hard to read. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
