Nocturne is a 1963 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 black dress. The fabric clings to her arms and body, then sweeps down in soft, wavy lines to the floor. Her pose is relaxed, with one arm bent at the elbow and her head tilted slightly back. The title *Nocturne* hints at nighttime, but here the light is flat and the background empty—just a pale, smooth surface. The artist used quick, confident strokes to suggest shadows and volume without detail. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see how her work blends fashion and art.
