Blois is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
The painting depicts a woman in a dark blue outfit, with a matching jacket and skirt. She has short, white hair and is wearing white gloves. Her left hand is tucked into her jacket, while her right hand is by her side. The background of the painting is a light beige color. To the right of the woman, there is a small sketch of the back of a dress. The dress appears to be sleeveless and has a bow at the back.

The attention to detail in the woman's outfit and the inclusion of the dress sketch suggest that the artist was interested in exploring the relationship between fashion and art.
