'Patio' is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a person in a wide-legged outfit with swirling black patterns on a light background. They’re holding a fan in one hand and raising the other arm, as if mid-motion. The outfit has puffy sleeves and a high collar, with a dark hat tilted to one side. The sketch uses simple lines and shading to show movement and fabric texture. The artist focused on bold shapes and patterns rather than fine details. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines like these.
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.
