Medrano is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
The painting depicts a woman in a blue dress with a matching jacket, standing confidently with her left hand on her hip. The dress has a full skirt and is paired with heels, while the jacket features buttons down the front and a collar. To the right of the woman is a smaller, simpler drawing of a dress. The woman's outfit is rendered in a mix of blue and white hues, with bold black lines defining the edges of the clothing and the woman's body. The background of the painting is a plain off-white color. The painting is a charming representation of 1950s fashion, with the woman's stylish outfit and confident pose making for a compelling image.
