About this work

This sketch shows a person wearing a long, flowing coat with a high collar. The coat is dark and loose, with a slight sheen in the fabric. The person’s face is simple, almost like a quick sketch, and their hands are tucked inside the coat pockets. The name *Nambou* is written in the top right corner, and the drawing looks like it was made fast—maybe for a fashion idea or a quick study. The lines are bold and confident, with some shading to show the coat’s shape. If you like this style, check out Carven, the artist who made it.
