1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Figaro is a 1956 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, dark dress with a belt at the waist. She’s holding a cigarette in one hand, and her hair is pulled back under a hat. The lines are simple but confident, with quick strokes for the dress and face. The name *Figaro* is written in the corner—maybe it’s a nickname or a reference. The drawing feels fast, like it was made in one go. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
