About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, brown coat with a wide belt and big pockets. She’s wearing a hat, gloves, and a simple necklace. The coat looks heavy and smooth, almost like it’s made of leather. The artist wrote “Crocodile” near the coat, hinting it might be made of that material. The lines are loose and quick, giving the drawing a sketchy, almost fashion-sketch feel. Next, look up womenswear to see how clothing like this fit into everyday style.

These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
