1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Bleuêts 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 flowing blue dress with a wide skirt. The bodice has white fabric with blue floral patterns, and her sleeves are also blue. Her pose is loose, with one arm raised and the other resting on her hip. The word *Bleuêts* is written in the corner—it’s French for "cornflowers," matching the dress’s blue theme. The drawing uses quick, sketchy lines and watercolor washes for a light, airy feel. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build texture with 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.
