About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, loose blue coat with wide lapels and a deep V-neck. Her hair is short and wavy, and she stands with one leg slightly bent, holding the coat’s front flap. To the right, there’s a simple line drawing of the same coat from the back, showing its basic shape. The coat’s design is simple but bold, with clean lines and a relaxed fit. The blue color stands out against the light background, making the fabric look soft and flowing. If you like this style, check out womenswear from the 1950s for more inspiration.

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