About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple, dark blue outfit with a belted jacket and a matching hat. Her hands rest on her hips, and her posture is confident but loose. The lines are bold and quick, with some smudged areas where the blue paint blends into the light background. The sketch feels like a quick study, maybe done to capture the shape and style of the clothes. The name "Marsouin" is written at the top, but we don’t know what it means here.

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