Pimprenelle is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing depicts a woman wearing a long, plaid skirt and a matching top with a peplum waist. The woman is shown from the knees up, with her left leg slightly bent and her right arm resting on her hip. Her left arm is bent at the elbow, with her hand resting on her hip as well. The drawing is rendered in black and white, with the plaid pattern of the woman's clothing creating a sense of texture and depth. The overall effect is one of elegance and sophistication, with the woman's pose and attire conveying a sense of refinement and poise. The drawing is a beautiful example of fashion illustration, and it would be interesting to learn more about the artist, Marie-Louise Carven, and her work in this field.
