About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, dark green coat with a high collar and three big buttons down the front. The coat is loose and slightly puffy at the shoulders, with a pattern of small shapes on the cuffs. Her hands are tucked inside the pockets, and she’s wearing simple shoes and a flat cap. The drawing is loose and quick, with bold lines and flat colors—no shading or detail in the face. The coat looks like it’s made for walking, not fancy occasions.

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