About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a draped, see-through top. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands sideways, one arm resting on her hip. The dress has dark, wavy patterns on the skirt and a sheer, striped bodice. The label says this is a "very pretty black velvet dress" with gold and navy touches. The artist signed it "Madeleine & Madeleine" in 1924. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
