About this work

This quick sketch shows a woman in a long, bright yellow coat with black trim. She’s holding a small object in her right hand, like a key or a compact mirror. Her head is covered with a dark scarf, and she’s wearing simple black shoes. The title *Plum pudding* is written in the corner—maybe a joke or a nickname for the outfit. The drawing is loose and fast, like a fashion sketch. If you like this style, check out more by the artist Carven.
