Pétula is a 1964 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Breech, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a one-piece swimsuit with wide, striped colors—pink, blue, and green. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a small flower clip. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a quick sketch. In the corner, there’s a tiny, rough drawing of another person. The swimsuit looks simple but stylish, with clean lines and bold colors. The artist signed it "Pétula" in the top-right corner. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
