Dominant colour
Pingouin Empereur 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 from behind in a long, sleek black dress. The dress has a high neckline and a simple square cutout at the chest, with a few small white shapes that look like flowers or dots. Her hair is pulled up into a loose bun, and she’s wearing black heels. The sketch is loose and quick, with ink strokes that feel almost like a sketchpad doodle. The black dress stands out against the plain background, making the small details pop. Want to see more? Look up Marie-Louise Carven.
