1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Retira is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing features a woman in a long, flowing dress with a matching cape, rendered in shades of purple and pink. The woman's back is turned to the viewer, and her head is tilted slightly to the right. Her hair is styled in an updo, and she wears a long-sleeved dress with a high neckline. The dress is a soft pink hue, while the cape is a deeper purple shade. To the left and right of the woman are two simple line drawings of dresses, each with short sleeves and a V-neckline. These drawings appear to be sketches or studies for the main figure. The overall effect of the drawing is one of elegance and sophistication, with the woman's flowing dress and cape evoking a sense of refinement and poise.
