1959
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Krishma is a 1959 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a long, strapless gown with a fitted bodice and a wide skirt made of layered, checkered fabric in browns and blacks. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands against a plain background with loose, sketchy lines. The artist signed it "Krishma" in the top-right corner. The checkered pattern on the skirt is drawn with quick, confident strokes that make the fabric look textured. The loose lines suggest this was a fast sketch, not a detailed study. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists create shading with lines.
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.
