About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a bright green coat and matching skirt, holding a small bag. The coat has a simple belt at the waist and a clean, straight cut. Next to her is a flat sketch of the same outfit from the back, showing how it fits. The artist’s loose lines keep it quick and modern, focusing on shape over detail. The green stands out against the plain background, making the outfit look bold and easy to wear. Want to see more fashion sketches like this? Check out womenswear.
