This drawing shows a woman in a long, shimmery black dress with a beaded top and long gloves. Her hair is short and sleek, and she’s wearing tall black shoes. The background is plain, focusing all attention on her. Notice the small fabric swatch at the bottom left—it looks like the dress’s material. The artist even signed it “Madeleine & Madeleine” in the top right corner. Want to see how this dress fabric was made? Look up embroidery.
