1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Chinchilla is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Iron, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a simple black dress with a short jacket and a flared skirt. Her hair is neatly pulled back, and she’s wearing black heels. The lines are clean, with some shading on the dress and arms. The dress looks like it’s made of a textured fabric, maybe wool or tweed. The artist used quick, sketchy strokes to show the folds and movement. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching to see how shading works in drawings.
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.
