About this work

This sketch shows a person in a dark, simple outfit with a high collar and a hat. The coat has a belt and big pockets, and the person’s hands are tucked away. There’s also a small drawing of a corset-like undergarment in the corner. The artist used quick, bold lines to show the shape and style of the clothes. The focus is on how the outfit fits the body, not details. Next, look up Carven to see more of their fashion sketches.
