About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, red coat with a high collar and a white head covering. Her right arm is outstretched, as if she’s walking or gesturing. The lines are simple and loose, with flat colors and no background details. The sketch’s name, *Tambour*, is written in the corner—maybe it’s the model’s name or a style reference. The artist focused on the shape of the coat and the way it moves with her. If you like this style, check out Carven.
