About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long red coat with big pockets and a belted waist. The coat is thick and slightly loose, with a high collar and dark trim. Her hair is pulled back under a hat, and she stands with one leg slightly forward, like she’s walking. The drawing is loose and quick, with rough strokes and smudges—more like a fashion sketch than a polished portrait. The word *Equipage* is written at the top, which might hint at something about the outfit’s style or purpose. Next, check out womenswear to see how clothing like this fit into fashion history.

Carven

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