1960
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Bec jaune is a 1960 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 long, dark coat with a checkered pattern of yellow and white. Her hair is styled in a short, wavy updo, and she wears simple earrings. The coat has a high collar and pockets, with a loose fit that ends at her knees. The drawing uses quick, confident lines to suggest fabric texture, especially on the coat’s sleeves and lapels. The artist focused on the shape and flow of the garment rather than fine details. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build texture with layers of 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.
