Marivaudage 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 sleek black dress with a deep V-neck and a flared skirt. Her arms are outstretched, and she wears simple earrings and a bracelet. The drawing uses loose, quick lines—some areas are filled with ink, while others stay light. The title *Marivaudage* (a French word for playful flirting) hints this might be about charm or style. The sketch feels more like a fashion study than a formal portrait. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
