Piece features a very sleek fashion design done in pencil, of a female silhouette, wearing a green and white herringbone patterned dress, typical of the epoch (see photos.) She is also wearing black shoes, adding elegance to her look. At the bottom left-hand corner, there is an enlarged sketch of the neckline design pattern, along with being noted as "N° 14" (see photos.) It is signed at the back of the drawing, on the bottom, right-hand corner (see photo.) It is surrounded by a white matte, behind clean glass, inside of a brushed metal frame (see photos.)

This piece is in overall very good, original and vintage condition, as it has been well-preserved over the years. Very light signs of age commensurate with time, on the paper. No tears or rips (see photos.) The matte is clean. Some some minuscule signs of age over time, on the glass, as is to be expected for a piece of this age. No cracks or chips (see photos.) The frame has some very light marks, signs of age and previous use commensurate with time, as well as a patina of time, on the front corners, sides and back, (see photos.) At the back of the frame, there is a hanging system, so it can be easily mounted onto a wall (see photos.)

All photos taken in natural light, so colors may vary, based upon brightness, reflections, angles and perspective in which they are viewed.
