1952
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Paon is a 1952 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a wide skirt that sweeps the ground. Her arms are crossed over her chest, and the fabric looks soft and dark. The top part of her dress is loose, with a few lines suggesting buttons or a pattern underneath. The drawing is loose and quick, like a first idea on paper. The artist focused on the shape of the dress and the way it moves. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
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.
