1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Gavarni is a 1958 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 simple black outfit—matching jacket and pants—standing sideways. Her hair is pulled back, and she has one hand resting on her hip. The lines are loose and confident, with quick strokes for the face and clothing. The drawing focuses on the shape of the clothes, leaving little detail for the background. The artist’s name, *Gavarni*, is written in the corner, but this isn’t the same artist—it’s a sketch by Marie-Louise Carven. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion-focused work.
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.
