1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Procope is a 1953 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
The painting shows a woman dressed in a black suit with a long jacket and a pencil skirt. Her left hand is on her hip, and her right hand hangs down by her side. She is wearing white high heels and black gloves. The background of the painting is a light beige color. The woman's face is not visible, as it is not painted. The overall style of the painting is simple and elegant, with clean lines and minimal details. The artist has focused on capturing the woman's pose and attire rather than her facial features. The painting is a great example of Marie-Louise Carven's work, and it would be interesting to explore more of her pieces at the Museum of Ethnography.
Marie-Louise Carven (31 August 1909 – 8 June 2015), born Carmen de Tommaso, was a French fashion designer who founded the house of Carven in 1945.
