Dominant colour
'Paris' is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a sleek, dark blue dress with a fitted top and a flared skirt. The dress has a white collar and cuffs, and she’s holding a small purse in one hand. The lines are loose but confident, with quick brushstrokes that keep it simple. The artist signed it “Paris” in the corner, which might hint at a fashion link to the city. The sketch feels like a quick study—maybe for a dress design—rather than a finished portrait. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven for 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.
