1951
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Pharaon 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 simple two-piece outfit: a strapless top tied at the sides and a high-waisted skirt with a wide belt. The belt has a bold stripe of purple and green, and her arms hang loose at her sides. The drawing is loose and quick, with soft brown lines and no background. The name "Pharaon" is written in the corner, but it’s unclear what it refers to—maybe the outfit or a style. The sketch feels like a quick idea rather than a finished work.
