About this work

This drawing shows a simple figure in a bright yellow coat with a high collar and long sleeves. The coat is loose-fitting, with clean lines and a slight flare at the bottom. The figure’s arms are relaxed at the sides, and one hand holds a small bag. The artist used quick, confident strokes to sketch the coat, leaving the background mostly blank. The name "Pâquerette" is written in the corner, likely the title of this work. If you like this style, check out the artist Carven.
