'Cinco de Mayo' is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a loose, sleeveless dress with bright floral embroidery on the chest. She’s wearing a wide-brimmed hat and has one hand on her hip. The lines are simple and confident, with quick strokes for her arms and legs. The artist signed it “Cinco de Mayo”—maybe a nod to the holiday or just a playful title. The sketch feels fast and sketchy, like a quick study rather than a polished work. Want to see more? Look up Marie-Louise Carven.
