About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, dark green coat and matching flared skirt. She’s walking, one hand in her pocket, the other swinging free. The lines are quick and simple, with just a few strokes for her face and hair. The name *Audrey* is scrawled in the corner—maybe the model’s name or the outfit’s. The clothes look easy but stylish, like something from the mid-20th century. Want to see more? Check out womenswear from the same era for similar designs.
