1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Chataîgne is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Belt, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, flowing dress with short sleeves. The dress has a dark belt cinching the waist, and the skirt flares out in soft folds. Orange-brown flowers are scattered across a light background, giving it a fresh but slightly abstract look. The drawing is simple but catches the movement of fabric well. The artist used quick, confident lines to show the dress’s shape and drape. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with 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.
