The image displays two original Christian Dior fashion sketches presented vertically within a glass-fronted display case in an exhibition setting. The prominent right sketch is a graphite drawing on aged, light-toned paper, depicting a full-body female figure in profile, facing left. The figure wears a formal ensemble: a strapless dress with a prominent rose embellishment at the bust line, a fitted, short-sleeved bolero-style jacket, and a knee-length pencil skirt. A wide-brimmed hat, pearl earrings, and a choker complete the attire. Handwritten text "Aphrodite" appears at the top, and "Paule" along with a detailed inset sketch of the rose embellishment are visible in the lower right quadrant. Additional faint markings "4. S. CD. 8. A" are at the bottom edge. The partially visible left sketch, also in graphite, shows a design detail of a garment. Beneath this sketch, printed text identifies "Christian DIOR", the address "30, avenue Montaigne - PARIS-8", "Croquis N° 7", and the date "19 DEC 1949". The sketches are preserved behind a clear glass panel, which reflects ambient light and indistinct background shapes suggesting an indoor gallery or museum environment. A printed label "CHRISTIAN DIOR" is centered below the right sketch. The specific address "30, avenue Montaigne - PARIS-8" indicated on the left sketch situates the origin of these designs at the historic headquarters of the House of Dior in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, France. The presentation suggests the scene is within a Christian Dior exhibition, likely held at this iconic address or another significant cultural institution in Paris.
