Glycine is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This painting features a woman in a flowing purple dress, with her hands on her hips. The dress has a sweetheart neckline and short sleeves, and is cinched at the waist with a bow. The woman's face is blurred, but her dark lips and short, curly hair are visible. The background of the painting is a light beige color, which provides a subtle contrast to the vibrant purple of the dress. The overall effect is one of elegance and sophistication, with the woman's confident pose and stylish attire taking center stage. The painting's use of bold lines and bright colors creates a sense of energy and movement, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman's dynamic pose.
