1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Werther is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Ensemble, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman walking sideways, dressed in a dark, patterned jacket and matching pants. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears simple black shoes. The lines are loose and quick, giving her a lively, moving feel. The jacket’s pattern looks like small squares, and the artist used light shading to show folds in the fabric. The name "Werther" is written in the corner, but we don’t know why yet. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching to see how artists create shading 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.
