The model showcases an olive suit with wide 3/4 sleeves. Detailed line edging trims the sleeves and the sides of the skirt. The stand up wide collar has beautiful detailing and adds a sophisticated element to the ensemble. Note the long white gloves and her fitted scull hat which matches the detail of her collar. Note too her makeup and her side glance! The fashion illustration is done in an olive tone gouache with black ink detailing. It is on thick off white paper stock. We purchased this from a Parisian print dealer who specializes in original fashion drawings; she provided us with a copy of the couturier's letterhead as authentic documentation. See photo. This is RARE!!! 9.5 x 12.5 inches in size. Excellent, clean condition. Comes matted in a white custom 16 x 20 inch mat ready for a standard size frame.
