About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, dark blue coat with a checkered pattern on the sleeves and hem. She’s wearing a matching hat pulled low and carries a small bag. Her legs are long, and she’s walking with one foot slightly ahead. In the corner, there’s a tiny sketch of the same hat on a smaller figure. The coat looks warm and stylish, with a few quick brushstrokes suggesting fabric texture. The name "Heribel" is written in the corner, but it’s unclear what that refers to.

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