Vermeil is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Ensemble, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a bold red outfit. She’s wearing a fitted jacket with big lapels, a matching skirt, and white gloves. Her hair is short and neat, and she’s walking with one foot slightly ahead. The name *Vermeil* is scrawled in the corner—it might refer to the outfit’s color or material. The sketch feels quick and loose, like a fashion sketch rather than a detailed portrait. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
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.
