About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long dress with a belt of small, dark shapes. She’s wearing a dark hat and holding a folded piece of fabric. The dress has a high collar and a dark trim at the bottom. In the corner, there’s a quick sketch of another outfit with a belt and a draped top. The handwriting at the bottom names the artist as *Madeleine & Madeleine*, which was a real design duo. The words describe the outfit’s details—like the "col singe" (a monkey collar) and "jaquette garnie" (a decorated jacket). Next, look up passementerie to see how these decorative belts were made.
