1952
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Bleu de Chine is a 1952 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a flowing blue dress with a fitted bodice and a wide, wavy skirt. The bodice has a floral pattern, and her pose is confident, with one hand resting on her hip. The lines are loose and quick, giving the drawing a lively, unfinished feel. The title "Bleu de Chine" hints at the dress’s color, which might reference a deep blue dye. The sketch’s style is simple but expressive, focusing on shapes and movement over detail. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
