Barcelone is a 1958 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 simple, sleek dress with short sleeves and a belt at the waist. The fabric looks soft, with a slight A-line shape that flares just below the hips. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she wears low-heeled shoes. To the left, there’s a flat drawing of the same dress, showing how it folds at the back. The belt and clean lines make the dress look modern and easy to move in. The sketch feels like a quick, practical study rather than a fancy portrait. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
