1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Voltaire is a 1953 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a sleek black outfit. She’s wearing a long jacket with buttons down the front, matching pants, and pointed shoes. Her arms are crossed, and her hair is pulled back neatly. The name *Voltaire* is scrawled in the corner—though it’s not clear if that’s the person or just a label. The loose, sketchy lines make the drawing feel quick and modern. Want to see more by the artist who made this? Check out Marie-Louise Carven.
