About this work
Overview
Phrymée is a sketch created by the fashion designer Carven around 1957. It is part of the collection at the Museum of Ethnography.
Subject & Meaning
The sketch depicts a woman wearing a simple, light blue dress with a bow at the waist. The dress is loose-fitting with a slight flare at the hem, and the woman is accessorized with small earrings and low heels. The name 'Phrynée' is inscribed in the corner, likely referring to the dress design.
Technique & Style
The sketch includes a secondary, smaller drawing of the dress from the front, showing an alternative bow configuration. The overall style is characteristic of fashion illustration from the period, with an emphasis on capturing the dress's design and the model's pose.
