About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a sleek black dress with long fringe and tiny beads. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears dark shoes with a slight heel. The dress drapes loosely but has sharp angles at the shoulders and hips. The background is plain, letting the outfit stand out. Notice how the beads catch the light—tiny dots that make the dress look fancy. The artist signed it *"Confettis blancs"* (white confetti), maybe because the beads resemble confetti. Next, look up stippling to see how dots create texture in art.
