This is one of two studies for rosettes to be applied on the dress in Symphony in Flesh Colour and Pink: Portrait of Mrs Frances Leyland [YMSM 106]. 1 The inscription, in French, implies that the dress or the rosettes were made in France (of which there is no other suggestion), or that the dress-maker was French.
