1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Scarabée is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Ensemble, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a dark jacket and a skirt splashed with brown and orange. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s walking with one leg slightly forward. The lines are loose and quick, with some areas left plain and others filled in with simple brushstrokes. The title *Scarabée* is written in the corner, which might hint at the dress’s shape or pattern. The sketch feels like a quick study, not a polished final piece. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
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.
