1952
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Tentation is a 1952 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a long, flowing blue dress covered in white floral shapes. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s wearing a necklace and earrings. One arm is raised slightly, as if she’s mid-movement, while the other rests at her side. The sketch feels loose and quick, with bold brushstrokes and some areas left lightly shaded. The word *Tentation* (French for "temptation") is written at the top, hinting at a mood or theme. Check out 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.
