About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a brown coat and skirt, with a white hat and heels. She's facing left, with her head turned to look back over her right shoulder. To her right is a simple drawing of the back of a coat. The woman's coat is buttoned up, with a collar and lapels. It's a knee-length coat, and she's wearing a matching skirt that falls just below her knees. Her white hat is a turban-style hat, and she's wearing white heels. The drawing is done in a simple style, with clean lines and minimal shading. The overall effect is one of elegance and sophistication.
