'Clair-obscur' is a 1949 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
The image showcases a drawing of a woman in a long, black dress with a white skirt. The woman is depicted from behind, with her right hand raised to her shoulder and her head turned slightly to the left. The dress features a long train that flows behind her, and the skirt is adorned with small, dark spots and lines that resemble a floral pattern. The drawing is rendered in black and white, with bold lines and subtle shading that adds depth and dimension to the image. The overall effect is one of elegance and sophistication, capturing the essence of a bygone era.
