1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Fortunio 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, knee-length dress with a floral pattern in dark greens, purples, and whites. She’s wearing a wide-brimmed hat and simple earrings, standing with her hands resting at her sides. The lines are quick and confident, with a few watercolor splashes for color. The name *Fortunio* is scrawled in the corner—maybe the dress’s name or the model’s. The sketch feels like a quick study, not a polished finish, which makes the details pop even more.
