This quick sketch shows a woman in a long coat and hat, walking with a small dog on a leash. The coat is dark with a faint greenish tint, and the background is just a few loose brushstrokes. The lines are simple but confident, and the whole scene feels like a snapshot. The artist signed it "Carven," and the drawing focuses on the woman’s stylish outfit. The coat looks like something from the mid-20th century, with clean lines and a practical cut. If you like this sketch, check out Carven—they’re known for designing clothes like this.
