About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a low back and a flared skirt. The skirt has small silver flowers scattered across it, and the dress is paired with black shoes. Her hair is styled in loose waves, and she’s holding something in her right hand. Notice the tiny fabric swatch in the top corner—it’s a real piece of material, likely from the dress. The artist signed it “Rubannette” in the top-right corner. Look up swatch to see how artists used fabric samples in their work.
