1952
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Océanide 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 loose, flowing blue dress with a wide skirt that fans out around her. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a necklace with a brooch at the center. The lines are simple but confident, with quick brushstrokes that suggest movement. The title *Océanide* hints at a connection to water nymphs, though the sketch itself looks more like a fashion drawing than a mythological scene. The loose style and focus on fabric make it feel modern for its time. If you like this sketch, check out Marie-Louise Carven, the artist who drew it.
