1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Lancret is a 1953 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress. The dress is light blue with a darker blue pattern near the shoulders. The skirt is wide and splits into two long, trailing pieces that fan out behind her. Her pose is simple—one arm bent at the side, the other resting lightly. The artist used loose, quick lines to suggest movement and fabric. The focus is on the dress’s shape and how it moves with her. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create texture 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.
