1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
La Parisienne is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple black outfit: a short jacket with three-quarter sleeves and a full, flared skirt that stops at her knees. Her hair is styled in a neat updo, and she wears low-heeled shoes. The drawing is loose and quick, with flat colors and clean lines—no shading or texture. The tiny sketch in the corner shows the dress from behind, revealing its basic shape. The title *La Parisienne* suggests this might be a fashion study, not a portrait.

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.
