Dominant colour
Voltigeur is a 1957 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Stone, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a simple figure in a bright pink dress with a fitted top and flared skirt. The dress has a black trim at the collar and waist. The figure’s hair is pulled back, and they’re wearing low-heeled shoes. Off to the side, there’s a quick drawing of a jacket hanging on a hanger. The word *Voltigeur* is scrawled in the corner—it might hint at something about the design, but it’s not clear. The drawing feels loose and quick, like a first idea rather than a finished plan. If you like this sketchy style, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build up shapes with lines.
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.
