About this work

This sketch shows a person walking away from us, wearing a long beige coat with two pockets and a white hat. Their left hand is raised slightly, as if waving or adjusting something. The lines are loose and quick, with light shading to show folds in the coat and shadows under the hat. The title *Autoroute* hints this might be about travel or movement, but the figure’s relaxed pose feels more like a casual moment than a journey. The drawing’s rough style makes it look like it was done fast, almost like a snapshot. Next, check out Carven to see more of their work.
