Dominant colour
'Oeillade' is a 1949 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress and jacket, standing sideways. Her left hand rests on her hip, and her right hand touches her hair near her ear. The lines are loose and confident, with some quick strokes for the dress’s folds. The signature in the corner reads “Carven,” which matches the artist’s name. The drawing feels like a quick study of fashion, not a detailed portrait. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
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.
