Sphinx is a 1953 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
The painting depicts a woman wearing a black dress adorned with floral patterns. The dress features a high neckline and long sleeves, with the woman's hands placed on her hips. A smaller version of the same woman is shown to the left, wearing the same dress but without the sleeves. The woman's dark hair is styled in a short, neat fashion, and she wears dangling earrings. The background of the painting is a light beige color, which provides a subtle contrast to the dark tones of the dress. This painting is a representation of womenswear, showcasing the elegance and sophistication of the dress.
