This drawing shows a woman in a simple, clean outfit. She’s wearing a light-colored suit with a collared shirt and a round hat. Her legs are long and straight, and she’s standing sideways with one foot slightly ahead. The name *Coeur de palmier* is written on the page—it means "palm heart" in French. That’s likely a nod to the palm fibre used in the outfit. Next, look up palm fibre to see how it’s turned into fabric.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
