About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, olive-green coat with a simple collar and pockets. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with one hand in her coat pocket. Next to her is a loose drawing of the same coat, folded or hanging. The title *Vert et blanc* means "green and white" in French, but the coat here is just green. The drawing looks quick and rough, like a first idea for a design. Want to see more? Check out Carven, the artist who made this.
