About this work

This sketch shows a woman from the back, wearing a loose white dress with blue straps and a long, flowing skirt. Her hair is pulled up, and she holds a round object—maybe a hat or a ball—against her chest. The dress has small pink flowers sewn onto the waistband, and her shoes are simple, dark blue. The drawing looks quick and loose, like it was done in a hurry. The name "Madeleine & Madeleine" is signed at the top, and the address "104, Avenue des Champs Elysées" is written at the bottom.
