Parisienne 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 stylish 1920s outfit. She’s wearing a short red dress with black trim, a black-and-pink embroidered top, and long black gloves. Her hair is cut short and sleek, and she’s posing confidently with one hand on her hip. The sketch is signed “Madeleine & Madeleine,” which might mean it was made by a design team or a studio. The address at the bottom suggests it was meant to advertise a shop in Paris. Check out the technique: cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.
