About this work

This drawing shows a person in a bright yellow coat and skirt, standing with one hand tucked inside the coat pocket. The lines are loose and quick, giving it a sketchy, unfinished look. The background is plain, so the focus stays on the figure. The title *Palette d’or* hints at the golden color of the outfit—*palette* means color palette in French. The drawing feels like a quick study, maybe for fashion or design. Check out Carven for more of their work.
