This drawing shows a woman in a long red coat with big pockets and a wide belt. Her face is blank, but she wears a dark hat and tall black heels. The coat looks stiff, with sharp folds and two buttons near the waist. The title, *Dame de coeur*, is written in the corner—it means "lady of hearts" in French. The artist signed it "Carven," which was a fashion house, not just a painter. Next, look up Carven to see how fashion and art mixed in the 1960s.
