About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress with short sleeves and a matching cloche hat. Her skirt falls straight to her knees, and she wears black shoes with white socks. The background is plain, and the lines are loose but confident. The artist signed it "Madeleine & Madeleine" and wrote a note in French about the dress’s fabric. The sketch includes a small, rough drawing of the same dress in the corner. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
