Dominant colour
'Pizzaro' is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a person in a loose, flowing suit with wide lapels, standing sideways. Their left hand rests on their head, while the right holds a cigarette. The jacket has a checkered pattern, and the pants are baggy at the ankles. The lines are quick and confident, almost like a quick sketch. The artist signed it "Pizzaro" in the corner, which might be a nickname or the model’s name. The drawing feels alive, with a few loose strokes showing movement in the fabric.
