This sketch shows a woman in a long, shimmery dress with a low back and loose sleeves. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s striking a pose with one hand on her hip. The dress looks made of tiny, glittery bits—like metal flakes—and the whole thing is drawn in quick, sketchy lines. The artist signed it “Madeleine & Madeleine” in the corner, along with a Paris address. The name of the dress is written too: *Byzance*—which sounds fancy. If you like how the dress sparkles, look up sequin.
