Fontainebleau is a 1958 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 white polka dots, standing confidently with her left hand on her hip. She wears a matching jacket and has short dark hair. To her right, a smaller figure of a woman is shown from behind, wearing a dress with thin straps. In the bottom-right corner, a simple drawing of a dress is visible. The woman's dress appears to be pleated, and her jacket is buttoned up. The background of the painting is a light beige color, which complements the woman's outfit. The style of the painting is reminiscent of fashion illustrations from the mid-20th century. For more information on the artist's work, look up artist Marie-Louise Carven.
