About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, dark coat with a fur collar and a belted dress underneath. The coat is loose and slightly flared at the bottom, while the dress peeks out at the waist. The lines are bold and sketchy, with some shading to show texture. In the corner, there’s a simple side view of the same outfit, focusing on the dress’s shape. The name *Limaille* is written in the top-right corner, which might refer to the fabric or style. The drawing looks like it was made quickly, focusing on the clothes rather than details like the face or background. If you like this style of fashion drawing, check out Carven.
