About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, dark blue coat with a high collar and big buttons down the front. Her hair is styled in a tight, curly updo, and she wears simple jewelry—a necklace and earrings. One hand rests in her pocket, while the other holds a small purse. The coat is loose but structured, with a slight A-line shape. The name "Glycine" is written in the corner, which might be the model’s name or the coat’s design. The drawing looks like it was made quickly, with bold lines and flat colors. If you like this style, check out Carven for more fashion sketches.
