1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Sylphide 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 from behind, wearing a long, flowing wedding dress. The gown is detailed with swirls and dots, giving it a light, airy look. Her veil drapes down behind her, blending into the sketchy lines. The title *Sylphide* hints at something fairy-like or lighthearted—maybe the dress is meant to look like it’s floating. The loose, sketchy style makes it feel quick and lively, like a first idea rather than a finished drawing. Want to see more by the artist? Look up Marie-Louise Carven.
