1952
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Anguille is a 1952 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman standing with her hands on her hips. She’s wearing a simple black dress with a V-neck and long sleeves, paired with black gloves and heels. The dress has a loose, flowing skirt with splashes of blue and gray paint. The name *Anguille* is written in the corner—it’s French for "eel," which might hint at the dress’s shape. The loose, sketchy lines give it a quick, almost doodle-like feel. Want to see more by this artist? Check out Marie-Louise Carven.
