1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Casque d'or is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Gold, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman from behind, wearing a long coat with a belted waist and a wide-brimmed hat. The coat is dark with a few lighter patches, and the hat has a curved brim. Her legs are straight, and she’s standing on bare feet. The title *Casque d’or* means “gold helmet,” but the hat here looks more like a stylish fedora. The drawing is simple, with quick lines and no background. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shapes 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.
