Poisson lyre is a 1952 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a fitted bodice and narrow skirt. Her hands rest on her hips, and her hair is pulled back neatly. The background is plain, keeping all focus on the figure’s pose and outfit. The drawing looks quick and loose, with bold lines and minimal shading. The artist used simple strokes to define the shape and fabric of the dress. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
