1951
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Auteuil is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a fitted dress with a wide skirt covered in small dots. She wears a wide-brimmed hat, gloves, and low-heeled shoes. The dress has a cinched waist and a draped collar. The artist used quick, loose lines to suggest fabric folds and texture. The dots on the skirt look hand-drawn, not printed. Look up stippling to see how artists create patterns with dots like this.
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.
