1955
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Osiris 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 simple dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The lines are loose and quick, with light shading for her hair and arms. The fabric looks soft, almost see-through, and the whole drawing feels like a quick study. The name *Osiris* is written in the corner—it might hint at something beyond just fashion. The drawing’s rough style suggests it was made fast, maybe to capture movement or just a rough idea. If you like this sketchy style, look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build shadows 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.
