About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a sleek black dress with white geometric patterns. Her arms are outstretched, and she wears a short bob haircut with a headband. The dress has a deep V-neck and long sleeves, paired with black heels. To the right, a smaller sketch shows the dress from behind, highlighting the embroidered back. The white shapes on the dress look like tiny squares or crystals stitched on. The text at the bottom says "Sosie" and mentions "Broderie cristal," which likely means crystal embroidery. Look up embroidery to see how artists and designers use stitching like this.
