About this work

This sketch shows a person dressed in a loose, blue coat and light gray pants, standing on skis. Their hands grip ski poles, and they wear sturdy brown boots. The background is mostly blank, with just a few quick brushstrokes of blue and gray. The title written on the drawing, *"Bleu Finlandais,"* hints at a connection to skiing or winter sports. The loose lines and simple shapes make it feel like a quick study rather than a finished work. If you like this style, look up Carven for more of their fashion-inspired sketches.
