About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, dark coat with a leopard-print pattern. She’s wearing a big fur collar and a matching hat. The coat has a wide, flowing sleeve that moves as if she’s walking. The sketch uses bold black lines and simple shapes to show the outfit’s details. The artist focused on the fabric’s texture and the way it drapes.
