About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a matching navy blue jacket and skirt. The outfit has a belted waist, a notched lapel, and three buttons down the front. Her hair is short and styled neatly, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. To the right, there’s a simple back view of the same outfit. The sketch is labeled “Argenteuil” in the corner, but it’s unclear what that refers to. The clothes look like they’re from the mid-20th century, with clean lines and a polished look. If you like this style, look up womenswear.
