1952
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Li-Yu is a 1952 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black outfit, holding a dark hat in one hand and her other arm outstretched. The jacket has a deep V-neck and buttons down the front, while her pants are snug and tapered at the ankle. Her hair is short and pulled back, and she’s wearing simple earrings and a faint smile. The drawing is loose and quick, with bold lines that focus on shape and movement. The artist used simple shading to suggest form, keeping it clean and modern.
