1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Jonquille 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 simple, fitted outfit. She wears a short-sleeved, collared shirt with a checkered pattern in shades of gray and white. Her matching gray plaid skirt hits just above her knees, and she has a belt cinching her waist. The drawing is loose and quick, with light pencil strokes and a few stronger lines for details like her hands and hat. The name "Jonquille" is written in the top-right corner—likely the outfit’s title. The sketch feels like a quick study, maybe for a fashion design rather than a finished portrait. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
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.
