1955
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Orvet is a 1955 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a simple, sleek dress. The dress is light gray with a fitted waist and a narrow skirt that hits just above the knees. The sleeves are short, and the dress has a small belt at the waist. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s wearing small, round glasses. The sketch uses quick, clean lines with some shading to show folds in the fabric. The artist focused on the dress’s shape and how it moves with the body.
