About this work

This is a quick, loose drawing of a woman in a long coat. The coat is light with dark floral patterns and a high fur collar. She’s wearing dark gloves, a simple necklace, and her hair is pulled back neatly. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show the shape and fabric of the coat. The face is barely there—just a few strokes for eyes and lips. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
