About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, striped coat with vertical lines and a high collar. She wears a headband, gloves, and holds a small object in one hand. The lines are simple but confident, with quick brushstrokes for shading. The name "Bruno" is written in the corner—likely the model’s name or the design’s code. The drawing feels like a quick study, maybe for a fashion sketchbook. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
