'Amétis' is a 1949 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, dark dress with a ruffled collar standing near a railing. The lines are loose and quick, like a rough draft. The background is barely there—just a few strokes for a wall and a lamp. The artist signed it "Amétis," which is also the title. That’s unusual—sometimes artists use their own names as titles for their work. Look up Marie-Louise Carven next to see more of her drawings.
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.
