About this work

The painting 'Paso-doble' by Marie-Louise Carven is a drawing from 1951, held at the Museum of Ethnography. The artwork depicts a woman in a black dress with a plaid pattern on the inside of the skirt and collar. She is wearing white gloves and has her hands up to her head. The woman is standing with one leg slightly bent, and her dress is flowing around her. The background of the painting is a plain color, which helps to focus attention on the woman and her dress. The use of cross-hatching and stippling techniques adds texture and depth to the drawing, making it more visually interesting.
