About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long black coat with a high collar and a matching hat. She’s holding a small black bag in one hand and has a white glove on the other. The coat looks soft and slightly textured, while her shoes are simple and sleek. The whole drawing is done in loose, quick lines with some shading around the edges. The name *Frileuse* might hint at the coat’s style—it sounds like a type of warm, fur-like fabric. The drawing feels more like a fashion sketch than a detailed portrait, focusing on the clothes themselves. If you like this style, check out Carven for more womenswear designs.
