About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a draped collar and long gloves. Her hair is short and styled neatly, and she’s wearing tall black heels. The background is plain, so the focus stays on her pose and the flowing fabric. The name at the bottom reads *Madeleine & Madeleine*, which was a real artist duo. Their work often played with bold lines and simple shapes. Check out their other drawings to see how they used *cross-hatching* for texture.
