1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Miel 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 long, flowing dress with a high neckline. Her arms are crossed, and the dress has a few loose, painted flowers along the skirt. The lines are quick and simple, with light shading on her face and arms. The artist signed it "Miel" in the top right corner. The loose brushstrokes and simple shapes make it feel like a quick study rather than a finished piece. Try looking up cross-hatching next to see how artists build shading with lines.
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.
