Dominant colour
'Pouncho' is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress with a draped jacket over her shoulders. The jacket has small floral embroidery near the collar, and the dress is loose with a slight A-line shape. Her pose is relaxed, with one hand resting on her hip. The artist signed it "Pouncho" in the corner, which is also the title. The lines are confident but loose, almost like a quick fashion sketch. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
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.
