About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long black coat with a fur collar and cuffs. She’s wearing a big, fluffy black hat and tall heels. The coat is belted at the waist, and the skirt flares slightly. In the corner, there’s a small sketch of the coat’s back view. The name "Alpe d'Huez" is written on the page, which might be the coat’s design name. The artist’s handwriting is quick and confident, with loose lines. Want to see more by the artist who drew this? Check out Marie-Louise Carven.
