1949
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
'Source' is a 1949 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a flowing dress with a checkered pattern. The dress has a fitted top and a wide, flared skirt that moves around her legs. Her hair is drawn in loose waves, and she’s holding something near her chest. The artist used light pencil strokes to create the pattern, almost like a quick sketch. The lines are simple but show the shape and movement of the fabric well. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build texture 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.
