Dominant colour
Maria is a 1964 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Bikini, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a simple bikini. The top is a solid orange color with a small floral pattern. The bottom has a bold, leafy print in yellow and green. Her hair is pulled back into a loose bun with a single flower pinned on top. The drawing is loose and quick, almost like a sketch. The lines are confident but not detailed, focusing on shape over realism. Look up Marie-Louise Carven next—she made this work.
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.
