1952
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Néréïde is a 1952 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 wide skirt. Her arms are raised behind her head, and the dress has a yellowish tint with a darker bodice covered in small shapes. The lines are loose and quick, giving it a sketchy, unfinished look. The title *Néréïde* is written in the corner, which might hint at a mythological or watery theme. The drawing feels more like a quick study than a polished piece. If you like this style, check out 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.
