About this work

This drawing shows a person from behind, wearing a bright red hat and a long blue coat with black trim. The coat has a simple front opening and flared sleeves, while the legs are straight and narrow, ending in red shoes. The background is plain white. The title *Cèdre rouge* hints at the red hat being the focus—*cèdre* means cedar, a wood color, and *rouge* means red. The drawing looks like it was done quickly, with bold lines and flat colors.
