Dominant colour
'Zauria' is a 1949 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a floral pattern in black and brown. Her skirt flares out at the bottom, and she wears a wide-brimmed hat tied under her chin. The lines are loose and quick, with some areas left blank to show light. The artist signed it with a musical note-like mark in the corner. The paper has two small holes on the left side, like it was once pinned up. Want to see more? Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
