About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, green tweed coat with big buttons down the front. She wears a matching skirt and a dark hat with a wide brim. Her left hand holds a small umbrella, and her legs are long and straight, with one foot slightly ahead. The sketch is loose and quick, with some rough lines and shading. The tweed pattern is suggested with quick strokes, not detailed. The name "Verbier" is written in the corner, and there’s a small sketch of the coat’s back view.
