1952
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Pépite d'or is a 1952 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Gold, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
The painting features a woman in a white dress with gold accents, standing with her left leg slightly bent and her right hand on her hip. The dress has a halter top and a full skirt, and the woman's dark hair is styled in a short, curly bob. She wears high heels and has a confident expression on her face. The background of the painting is a plain beige color, which helps to highlight the woman's dress and accessories. The overall effect is one of elegance and sophistication, as if the woman is posing for a fashion magazine. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up the art of cross-hatching.
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.
