About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, loose coat with big buttons down the front. She’s holding a long stick, one hand near her chest and the other by her side. The coat is a warm yellow-brown, and her pants peek out beneath it, with a hint of red inside. The background is just a plain, light color—no extra details. The sketch looks quick and simple, like it was done fast. The artist focused on shapes and movement rather than tiny details. The name "Carven" is signed at the bottom. Want to see more like this?
