Dominant colour
'Manches dorées' is a 1949 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
The image presents a drawing of a woman in a long, black dress with a matching jacket. The dress features a sweetheart neckline and is adorned with a yellow belt. The woman's right hand is placed on her hip, while her left arm is bent at the elbow, with her hand resting near her waist. Her face is not visible. The drawing is rendered in black ink on a beige background, with some areas of the dress and jacket appearing lighter due to the artist's use of varying line weights. The overall effect is one of elegance and sophistication. The drawing is a beautiful example of fashion illustration, and it would be interesting to learn more about the artist, Marie-Louise Carven.
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.
