1951
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Citronelle is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
The painting depicts a woman in a yellow dress, with her left hand raised and her right hand on her hip. The dress is off-the-shoulder, with a full skirt and a pattern of diagonal lines. The woman's face is blurred, but her pose suggests confidence and poise. The background of the painting is a light beige color, which complements the yellow of the dress. The painting is a drawing, and the artist's use of cross-hatching and stippling creates a sense of texture and depth.
