1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Véra is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This is a quick sketch of a woman in a sleek black dress. The dress has a fitted bodice with a bow at the waist, and the skirt flares out slightly at the bottom. She’s holding a small purse and wearing pointed shoes. To the right, there’s a tiny sketch of the dress’s back view, showing how the skirt spreads open. The sketch feels loose and fast, like a first idea jotted down. The artist used simple lines and shading to show the fabric’s shape and movement.
