1957
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Robe boule bleue is a 1957 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a simple, flowing blue dress with a bow at the waist. Her hair is short and neat, and she’s walking with one foot slightly in front of the other. The lines are loose and quick, giving the figure a light, sketchy feel. The blue dress is the only color here, standing out against the plain background. The artist used watercolor washes to fill in the dress, keeping the rest of the drawing in soft pencil lines. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build shading with lines.
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.
