Pantalon avec fourrure au bas de la jambe is a 1963 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Breech, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a person from behind, wearing a long coat and baggy pants. Their feet are covered in thick, fuzzy socks or boots, and they’re holding something in one hand. The lines are loose and quick, like a fast sketch. The artist focused on the odd mix of a fancy coat with those chunky, furry feet—it’s almost funny. The drawing feels like a quick note of how people dress in different places. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
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.
