About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a sleek black dress with bold vertical stripes. She’s holding a small book or folder, and her waist is cinched with a wide belt tied into a red bow. The dress has long sleeves and a high collar, giving it a sharp, polished look. The artist signed it “Madeleine & Madeleine” and added notes about the dress—“satin black” and “fantasy flower”—in the corner. The sketch feels quick and lively, like a fashion sketch rather than a posed portrait. Want to see more by this team? Check out Madeleine & Madeleine.
