1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Cousu 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 sketch shows a woman in a simple pose, standing sideways with one hand on her hip. She’s wearing a matching jacket and pants set with a textured, speckled pattern—like tiny dots or flecks. The outfit is mostly brown with a few lighter spots, and her hair is pulled back neatly. The title *Cousu d’or* hints at the "stitched gold" look of her clothes. The drawing is loose and quick, with light pencil strokes that suggest movement without overworking the lines. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with layers of 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.
