Bébé phoque is a 1963 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
The image presents a drawing of a woman in a dress, accompanied by a smaller sketch of the same dress to her right. The woman is depicted with her left hand on her hip, wearing a green dress adorned with a floral pattern and a bow at the waist. Her face is not visible. The drawing is rendered in black ink, with subtle shading and texture added to the dress. The overall style is reminiscent of fashion illustrations from the mid-20th century. This drawing is a testament to the art of fashion illustration, a technique that has been used by artists such as Marie-Louise Carven to bring designs to life.
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.
