About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, dark green coat with a textured pattern. The coat has a belt at the waist and a high collar. Her hair is styled up with a bow, and she’s walking with one hand raised. The drawing is loose and quick, with soft pencil strokes. The coat’s pattern looks like leaves or vines, and the word *Verdure* is written nearby—it means "greenery." This drawing is just one page from a larger collection of fashion sketches.
