1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Charles X is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Ensemble, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows two women in sleek black dresses. One stands with her hands on her hips, the other sits with her arms resting on her knees. Both have simple hairstyles and wear pearl necklaces. The lines are loose but confident, with quick strokes for the fabric folds. The drawing includes a small sketch of the dress shape in the corner, labeled with numbers. It’s signed "Charles X" in the top right, but that might just be a code name for the design. Want to know more? Look up Marie-Louise Carven.
