1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Candide is a 1953 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing depicts a woman in a white dress, with her left hand on her hip and her right arm relaxed by her side. The dress features a V-neckline and a full skirt, and the woman's dark hair is styled in a short bob. She wears white gloves and heels, and her lips are painted a vibrant yellow. The drawing is rendered in a simple yet elegant style, with clean lines and minimal shading. The overall effect is one of understated sophistication, as if the woman is posing for a fashion photograph. For more information on the artist behind this drawing, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
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.
