Dominant colour
Ariane is a 1961 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Ruffle, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, flowing dress with puffed sleeves. The dress has a high neckline and a short, flared skirt with a row of ruffles at the hem. Her hair is pulled up into a bun, and she’s holding a small bag in one hand. The artist used quick, light strokes to suggest fabric and movement. The dress looks simple but has a few small floral patterns near the sleeves and hem. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
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.
