About this work

This drawing shows a person in a long black coat with white cuffs and a wide belt. They’re wearing a big hat with a black mask over their eyes and a flower pinned to their belt. The background is plain, and the lines are simple but bold. The name at the bottom reads *Madeleine & Madeleine*—that’s the artist’s name. The sketch looks like it was done quickly, with loose strokes and a sketchy figure in the corner. Check out the technique: cross-hatching used here for texture.
