Scarabé d'or is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting gold, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This is a loose, quick sketch of a woman in a green suit and light pants. Her jacket has two buttons, and her hands are tucked in her pockets. The lines are simple, with just a few strokes for the face and hair. The background is plain, almost like she’s floating. The name *Scarabé d’or* is written in the corner—it might be the outfit’s name or a note from the artist. The drawing feels like a fashion sketch, but it’s held at the Museum of Ethnography, which is unusual for this kind of work. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her drawings.
