1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Samba 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 simple, elegant dress. The dress is white with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt that stops just above the knee. The sleeves are short and the neckline is square. The woman’s pose is relaxed, with one arm resting on her hip and the other hand near her side. The word "Samba" is written in the top right corner, which might hint at a connection to dance or movement. The lines are loose and confident, giving the drawing a quick, sketchy feel.

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.
