About this work

A woman stands sideways, dressed in a long black dress with a sheer, ruffled skirt. Her sleeves are wide and draped, and she wears a bright red cloche hat. The background is plain, letting the dark outfit stand out. The sketch uses quick, sketchy lines to show fabric folds and shadows. The artist signed it "Madeleine & Madeleine" at the top right. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.
