1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Palais de glace is a 1958 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 blue dress with short sleeves and a gathered skirt. Her hands rest at her sides, and she wears low-heeled shoes. To the right, there’s a flat drawing of the same dress from behind, showing the back view and how the skirt flares. The title "Palais de glace" is written in the corner—it means "ice palace" in French. The loose, quick lines suggest the artist focused on shape and movement more than detail.
