Cytise is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a bright yellow outfit—matching jacket and long skirt—posed with one hand on her head and the other raised. The lines are loose and confident, with quick strokes that define the shape of her clothes and pose. The background is plain, keeping all focus on the figure. The artist used simple, bold lines to suggest fabric folds and movement, almost like a quick fashion sketch. The name "Cytise" is scrawled in the corner, maybe a title or a note.
