This drawing shows a woman in a long, beige coat with two big buttons down the front. She’s wearing a necklace, a short skirt underneath, and pointed shoes. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and one hand rests on her hip. The sketch includes a small side view of the coat’s back, showing how it fits. The lines are loose but confident, with some shading to show folds in the fabric. Next, check out the museum: Museum of Ethnography to see more of this artist’s work.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
