About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a dark blue coat with big pockets and a matching dress underneath. Her hair is styled in a simple updo, and she stands with one leg slightly forward. To the right, there’s a small sketch of the same dress without the coat. The coat’s pockets are deep and boxy, a practical detail that stands out. The word “Nonette” is written in the corner, which might be the name of the outfit. Check out womenswear from the 1950s for more designs like this.
