About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, deep red coat with big pockets and a hood. The coat is loose but structured, with clean lines and a slight flare at the bottom. Next to her is a simpler white dress, drawn in quick, light strokes. The artist signed it "Carven" in the top right corner. The red coat stands out against the plain background, making it the focus.
