1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Caramel 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 long, flowing dress with a wide skirt. Her pose is relaxed—one hand rests on her head, the other hangs loosely at her side. The dress has a simple top with a few dark brushstrokes, while the skirt is light, almost see-through, with quick, loose lines. The artist used thin, sketchy lines to suggest fabric folds and movement, giving the drawing a light, airy feel. The name "CARANEL" is scrawled in the corner, likely a nickname for the artist. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with layers of 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.
