About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, light-colored coat with big pockets and puffy sleeves. Her hair is styled in a loose, curly updo. The coat has two buttons down the front and a small collar. The background is plain, so all the focus is on the outfit. The artist used simple lines and soft shading to show the fabric’s folds. The coat looks warm and easy to move in, which fits the style of the time. Check out Marie-Louise Carven for more drawings like this.
