About this work

This sketch shows a woman from behind, wearing a bright red dress with puffy short sleeves and a high collar. Her hair is pulled back under a dark hat, and she’s holding a small purse. The dress is loose but has a belt at the waist, and her shoes are simple black heels. The artist signed it “Madeleine & Madeleine,” which is also the name of the shop where the dress might have been sold. The paper has a yellowish tone, like old receipts or theater programs. Next, check out the museum: Museum of Ethnography to see more of their collection.
