About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long black coat with big pockets and a matching hat. Her coat is loose but has sharp lines, and she’s holding a small bag. The drawing is mostly black and beige, with quick, confident strokes. The title *Otarie – Hippocampe* hints at something playful—maybe the coat’s shape or pockets remind the artist of a sea creature. The handwriting and number suggest this was a quick study, possibly for fashion work. Check out Carven to see more of their bold, stylish designs.
