About this work

The image presents a drawing of a woman, likely from the 1920s, dressed in a stylish outfit. She wears a hat, a long-sleeved dress with a belt around her waist, and a cummerbund. The dress features a decorative sleeve with a passementerie design. The woman's right hand is raised to her chin, and she appears to be standing in front of a plain background. A swatch of fabric is visible in the bottom-left corner of the image. The drawing is rendered in a simple yet elegant style, with clean lines and minimal shading. The overall effect is one of understated sophistication. If you're interested in learning more about the artists behind this piece, you might want to look up Madeleine & Madeleine.
