'Rd-Point' is a 1949 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This is a quick sketch of a woman in a dark, fitted suit. The jacket has sharp lapels and a row of buttons down the front, while the skirt hits just above the knee. Her left hand rests on her hip, and she wears a small purse on her right shoulder. The lines are loose but confident, with some shading to show folds in the fabric. The drawing looks like it was done fast—maybe for a fashion idea. The artist signed it in the corner with a nickname-style name. Want to see more? Check out Marie-Louise Carven.
