'Smoking' is a 1949 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a simple, elegant outfit. She’s wearing a long black dress with a matching jacket and a dotted tie. Her left hand rests on her hip, and she’s standing sideways, looking relaxed. The sketch is signed “Smoking” in the corner, which might be the title. The artist used quick, confident lines to draw the clothes and pose. Look up Marie-Louise Carven next to see more of her work.
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.
