1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Cécilia 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 standing straight, dressed in a simple outfit. She’s wearing a light-colored sleeveless top with a draped neckline and a matching skirt that has a few small flower patterns near the hem. The lines are loose and quick, with some shading to show the shape of her body and clothes. The name *Cécilia* is written in the corner, which might be the model’s name or the design’s title. The drawing feels more like a quick study than a finished piece, with some areas left lightly sketched. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven for more sketches like this.
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.
