1960
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Oiseau mouche is a 1960 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Patch, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman standing sideways, wearing a sleek black dress with thin gold stripes. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she holds a small object in her right hand. The lines are loose but confident, with quick strokes that keep it simple. The dress looks like it might be made of a shiny fabric, maybe something like satin. The gold stripes add a subtle touch without overpowering the black. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching to see how artists create texture 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.
