About this work

This sketch shows a woman from the back, wearing a long black dress with a high neck and embroidered details. The dress has a wide belt and a full skirt that flares out. Her hair is pulled up neatly, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. In the corner, there’s a smaller sketch of another woman in a simpler dress. The notes say the dress is made of black satin with white pearls and gold embroidery. The artist signed it "Madeleine & Madeleine" in 1924. Look up embroidery to see how this kind of stitching was done.
