The Coat with the Fur Lining

About this work

This black-and-white sketch shows a woman in a heavy coat with a fur collar, standing indoors. She’s holding her coat open with one hand, revealing a thick lining. Behind her, a table holds a teapot and a few other items, while a lamp sits on a side table. The artist used sharp, crisscrossed lines to create texture, especially in the coat and fur. This style makes the scene feel almost three-dimensional despite being a drawing. Next, look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this one.
