About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a sleek black dress with shiny silver patterns. She’s posing sideways, one hand resting on her chin, the other holding a small silver fan. The dress has long vertical lines and a short skirt that stops just above her knees. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she’s wearing dark stockings and pointed shoes. The silver details on her dress catch the light, making them stand out against the black fabric. The background is plain, so the focus stays on her pose and the dress. Next, look up silver in jewelry and fashion from the 1920s to see how artists used it then.
