1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Desdémone 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 flowing dress with one arm raised and the other outstretched. The dress is dark red at the top with a fitted bodice and flares into a wide skirt. The skirt has loose brushstrokes of pink and green flowers near the hem. The background is plain, letting the figure stand out. The name "Desdémone" is written in the top right corner, hinting at a connection to literature. The sketch feels loose and quick, like it was drawn in one go.
