About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, loose coat with big pockets. She’s wearing a red headband and low-heeled shoes, standing with one hand on her chin. The coat is light gray, and the lines are simple but confident, almost like a quick sketch. The name *Bilboquet* is written in the corner—maybe it’s the outfit’s name or a note from the artist. The style looks modern but not tied to any big art group. If you like this sketchy, fashion-focused style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
