This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black dress with bold red accents. She wears a cloche hat tilted to one side, gloves, and carries a small purse and a folded piece of paper. The outfit looks sharp and modern, with a high collar and a long coat that flares slightly at the waist. Notice the tiny fabric swatches glued to the top left corner—probably samples for the dress. The artist signed it "Diable" in the top right. Check out the technique: cross-hatching for more details on how this sketch was made.
