1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Lysistrata is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Sleeveles, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a fitted bodice and a wide skirt. The dress has a mix of light colors with blue and brown floral patterns, and a deep blue slit down the front. To the right, there’s a simple line drawing of the dress’s back view. The sketch feels loose and quick, like a first draft. The artist used light pencil strokes and watercolor washes to suggest fabric and movement. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion drawings.
