1951
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Chèvrefeuille is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, flowing outfit with wide sleeves and a high-waisted skirt. Her left arm is raised, holding what looks like a cigarette or a long object, while her right hand rests on her hip. The lines are quick and simple, with some shading to show fabric folds and volume. The name "Chèvrefeuille" is written in red at the top—maybe the outfit’s name or a code. The drawing feels like a quick study, not a finished piece, with light pencil strokes and smudges.
