About this work

This sketch shows a person in a long, dark coat with a checkered purple-and-green pattern. The coat has big pockets and a high collar, and the person wears a matching hat. Their left arm is outstretched, like they’re walking or posing. The name *Loup de mer* (which means "sea wolf") is scrawled at the top—maybe the coat’s style was inspired by sailors or rough weather. The drawing looks quick and loose, like the artist sketched it fast. Check out Carven to see more of their fashion-inspired work.
