1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Biscuit is a 1953 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple white dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. Her pose is relaxed, with one arm resting on her hip and the other hand near her face. The lines are loose and quick, with light shading to suggest shadows and fabric folds. The title *Biscuit* hints at the pale, neutral tone of the drawing—like the color of a plain biscuit. The sketch feels like a quick study, maybe for a fashion design. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
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.
