This sketch shows a woman standing sideways, holding a small envelope. She wears a short tunic with colorful stripes on the cuffs and collar, a wide beaded necklace, and a striped skirt with vertical lines. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she’s wearing simple shoes. The artist signed it “Paris” at the top, and the shop name “Madeleine & Madeleine” is written at the bottom with an address in Paris. The drawing looks like it was made to advertise clothes. If you like this style, look up galloon next—it’s the fancy fabric trim on her tunic.
