1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Pépites d'or is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Gold, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, strapless dress with a full skirt. The dress has a dark, swirly pattern that looks almost like splattered ink. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she’s wearing low-heeled shoes. The lines are loose and quick, like a quick doodle rather than a detailed drawing. The title, *Pépites d’or*, hints at something shiny—maybe the dress’s pattern is meant to look like gold flakes. The artist’s name, Marie-Louise Carven, is scrawled in the corner, but little else is clear from the sketch itself. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
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.
