1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Verlaine is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Bustier, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a strapless black dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The dress has a pattern of small yellow and brown shapes, like leaves or flowers. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s standing with one leg slightly forward, arms relaxed at her sides. The drawing is loose and quick, with light pencil lines and watercolor washes. The name "Verlaine" is written in the corner, and there’s a small number "181" next to it. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
