'Boa' is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a sleek black outfit with long gloves and a wide belt. Her skirt has a fringe of beads and loops at the bottom, and she’s holding a small purse. The background is plain, keeping all focus on her pose and the details of the clothes. The sketch looks like a quick study of a fashion design, with loose lines and shading. The word "boa" is written nearby, maybe hinting at the outfit’s inspiration. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
