1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Pivoine is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, sleeveless dress with a high waist and a wide, flowing skirt. The skirt has layers of ruffles at the bottom, and her arms are raised behind her head. The drawing uses simple lines and soft pink and brown tones. The artist signed it "Pivoine," which means peony in French. The sketch feels quick and loose, like a first idea rather than a finished design. Check out more by Marie-Louise Carven.
