This drawing shows a woman in a dress and coat, with a smaller sketch of the back of the coat to her right. The woman has short hair and is wearing a long-sleeved dress with a coat over it, and she is holding the collar of the coat with her right hand. The coat has buttons down the front and a flared skirt. The drawing is done in a simple style, with clean lines and minimal detail. The woman's face is not fully rendered, and her features are suggested rather than fully drawn. The drawing appears to be a fashion illustration, showcasing the design of the coat and dress. It is likely that the drawing was created by a fashion designer or illustrator, and it may have been used to showcase the design in a fashion magazine or catalog.
