1952
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Fresque is a 1952 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a fitted top and flared skirt. Her arms are crossed, and she wears a belt with a red pattern. The dress has long sleeves, and she’s wearing low-heeled shoes. The background is plain, keeping all focus on her pose. The sketch is loose and quick, with bold lines that feel almost like a fashion sketch. The word "FRESQUE" is written at the top, which might hint at something about the style or name.

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.
