About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek 1920s outfit. She’s wearing a short, shimmery dress with fringe down the front and a matching jacket tied at the waist. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s posing with one hand on her hip. The drawing is loose and quick, with soft pencil strokes. The name *Josette* is signed in the corner, and the studio’s address—*Madeleine & Madeleine*—is printed at the bottom. The sketch looks like it was done fast, almost like a fashion sketch. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
