Squale is a 1952 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 long, dark dress with her hands on her hips. The dress has a high neckline and long sleeves, and it appears to be made of a smooth, possibly silk, material. The woman's face is not visible, and her body is posed in a confident stance. The dress features a ruffled skirt and a belt around the waist, adding texture and detail to the overall design. The artist's use of dark colors creates a sense of elegance and sophistication, drawing the viewer's attention to the subject's confident pose. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Marie-Louise Carven, who was known for her fashion illustrations and designs.
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.
