About this work

This sketch shows a person in a long coat, hat, and gloves, holding a cane. The coat has big pockets and a belt. The lines are loose and quick, like a rough draft. The background is just plain paper. The name "Roussette" is written at the top—maybe it’s the person’s nickname. The artist used simple shapes and shading to show the outfit’s folds.

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