Black and white is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
The image presents a drawing of a woman dressed in a white coat with a bow tied at the back, paired with a white skirt and high heels. Her short hair is styled in a bob, and she carries a white bag over her shoulder. A small sketch of the back of the coat is visible at the bottom right corner of the image. In the top-right corner, the title "Black and White" is written in black ink, while the number "166" is inscribed above it. The drawing is set against a light beige background, which is framed by a slightly darker beige border. This drawing is reminiscent of the work of artist 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.
