Yo-yo 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 woman in a simple, checkered dress with a short-sleeve shirt and a flared skirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. In the corner, there’s a smaller drawing of the same dress, but without the skirt’s flare. The checkered pattern on the dress looks hand-drawn, with quick, loose lines. The artist left some areas lightly shaded, giving it a sketchy, unfinished feel. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven 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.
