1952
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Oursin is a 1952 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 dark purple outfit. The jacket has big buttons down the front and a high collar. Her skirt flares out slightly, and she’s sitting with one hand resting on her knee. The lines are loose and quick, with some shading to show folds in the fabric. The name “Oursin” is scribbled at the top—it might be the title. The artist used simple shapes and bold colors to sketch the outfit, focusing on the clothes more than details. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
