1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Chercheur 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 drawing shows a woman in a bright red outfit with a matching jacket and skirt. She’s standing confidently with her arms crossed, wearing a hat and low heels. The lines are bold and simple, with some shading to show folds in the fabric. The title *Chercheur d’or* (which means "gold seeker") hints at a connection to gold, though it’s not shown here. The clean, sketchy style focuses on shape and color over detail. Next, check out 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.
