'Fauve' is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, brown coat and black pants, standing sideways. Her coat has big pockets and a simple belt. She’s wearing low heels and her hair is pulled back. The drawing is quick and rough, with some faint lines for a stool and a handbag on the ground. The artist signed it “Fauve” in the corner, which might be a nickname or style hint. The loose brushstrokes and bold shapes give it a lively, almost playful feel. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
