1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Matador is a 1958 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 fitted waist. Her hair is styled short and neat, and she stands confidently with one hand resting on her hip. To the right, there’s a simple drawing of the dress from the back, showing its clean lines and a small bow at the shoulder. The sketch is loose and quick, with bold black lines and minimal shading. The focus is on the dress’s shape and how it moves with the body. Want to see more by this artist? Look up Marie-Louise Carven.
