1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Dalila is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, elegant dress. The dress has a draped top with a deep V-neck and a long, flowing skirt. Her pose is relaxed, with one hand on her hip and the other holding the skirt. The lines are loose and confident, with light shading to show folds and volume. The name *Dalila* is written in the corner, suggesting this might be a design study. The artist used quick, sketchy strokes to capture the dress’s shape and movement. 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.
