1952
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Cléopâtre is a 1952 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing white dress with a deep V-neck. She’s standing sideways, one hand resting on her chin, looking off to the side. The dress has a fitted waist and flares out at the bottom, with loose brushstrokes suggesting fabric folds. The name *Cléopâtre* is written in the corner—likely the dress’s design name, not the woman’s identity. The loose, quick lines make the drawing feel lively, even though it’s just pencil on paper.

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.
