1952
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Palétuvier is a 1952 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman standing with one hand on her hip and the other holding a small purse. She’s wearing a loose, greenish jacket with a high collar and a straight skirt that falls just above her ankles. The lines are simple and confident, with quick shading to show folds in the fabric. The name *Palétuvier* is written at the top—likely the title of this drawing. The artist focused on the shape and movement of the clothes, not the face or background.
