1955
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Orgue is a 1955 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with one arm bent at the waist. The drawing is loose and quick, with bold lines and simple shading. The word "Orgue" is written in the corner, but we don’t know what it means here. The sketch looks like it was done fast, with just a few strokes to show the dress’s shape. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists create shading 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.
