About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, clean outfit. She’s wearing a matching jacket and pants with a checkered pattern. The lines are loose but confident, and the whole scene feels quick, like a first draft. The name *Sureau* is written in the corner—maybe the outfit’s name or a code. The drawing looks like it’s from a fashion sketchbook, not a fine-art painting. Next, check out womenswear from the 1950s to see how this style fits in.

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