About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black outfit: a long jacket, a matching skirt, and pointed shoes. Her hair is short and neat, and she holds a small object in her right hand. The lines are loose and confident, with quick strokes for the face and clothes. The name *Sentinelle* is written in the corner, which might hint at a role or title. The clothes look like everyday workwear from a few decades ago. Check out womenswear from the 1950s for more details on this style.

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