About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose green coat with big buttons and wide lapels. She’s wearing a matching skirt that hits just above her ankles, and her hands are tucked into the coat pockets. The lines are quick and confident, with flat colors and no shading—just simple shapes to show the outfit. The name *Goénon* is scrawled in the corner, but we don’t know who that refers to. The drawing feels like a quick study, maybe for a fashion design. If you like this style, check out Carven, the artist who made it.

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