1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Eucalyptus is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Ensemble, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman walking, dressed in a fitted jacket and a flared, knee-length skirt. The outfit has a checkered pattern in shades of gray and white, with a darker trim at the cuffs and hem. Her hair is pulled back, and she holds a small object in her right hand while her left hand rests at her side. The title *Eucalyptus* is written in the top right corner, hinting this might be a design sketch rather than a portrait. The loose, confident lines suggest it was drawn quickly, focusing on shape and movement. Look up ensemble for more on how clothing like this was styled in the mid-1900s.
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.
