Carla is a 1964 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting breech, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This is a simple black-and-white drawing of a woman standing sideways. She’s wearing a sleek one-piece swimsuit with thin straps and a small bow at the neck. Her hair is short and curly, and she’s smiling slightly. The drawing looks fast and loose, like a quick sketch. The name *Carla* is written in the corner, which might be the woman’s name. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
