Belle Dame is a 1924 by Madeleine & Madeleine, depicting Coral, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a long, flowing black dress with a red and white patterned skirt. She’s holding a fan and wearing big earrings and a headband. The background is plain, so the focus stays on her pose and the bold colors. The signature reads *Madeleine & Madeleine*, and the name at the bottom matches the artist’s label. The sketch looks like it was done quickly, with loose lines and bright blocks of color. Check out the technique: stippling to see how dots create patterns and shading.
These artists left a small but striking set of 1924 drawings and designs that mix fashion and line.
