About this work

This sketch shows a woman walking sideways, dressed in a long, cone-shaped coat with a belt and pockets. Her hair is pulled back under a hat, and she wears simple shoes. The lines are loose and quick, with flat colors—mostly gray, white, and a touch of red on her cheeks. The title *Hippocampe* is written in the corner, which might hint at something unexpected. The coat looks practical, not fancy, with a clean, modern shape. If you like this style, check out Carven.
