'Elvira' is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
The image presents a sketch of a woman wearing a dress, with her face and head obscured by a blank space. The dress features a plaid pattern and is adorned with a green belt around the waist. The woman's left hand is placed on her hip, while her right arm is bent at the elbow. The background of the sketch is a plain white surface. A notable detail in the sketch is the use of lines to create texture and depth, particularly in the dress. The artist has employed a range of line weights and styles to achieve this effect. This sketch is reminiscent of the work of artists who specialize in fashion illustration, such as Marie-Louise Carven.
Marie-Louise Carven (31 August 1909 – 8 June 2015), born Carmen de Tommaso, was a French fashion designer who founded the house of Carven in 1945.
