About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a dark blue outfit with a matching hat. The jacket has two big buttons and a belt, while the skirt has deep pockets. Her pose is relaxed, with one hand in her pocket and the other resting on her hip. The sketch uses loose, quick lines—almost like a fashion sketch. The name "Armada" is signed in the corner, and the style looks modern for its time. If you like this, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
