Novelty is a 1924 by Madeleine & Madeleine, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a long, flowing red dress with a draped cape and high heels. Her hair is short and styled neatly, and she’s wearing bold red lipstick. The background is plain, but her pose is confident, like she’s walking down a street. The artist’s signature reads "Novelty," and the name "Madeleine & Madeleine" is written at the bottom—likely the duo behind the work. The sketch includes a small, rough figure in the corner, maybe an early draft. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
