This sketch shows a woman in a long, loose coat with big pockets and a high collar. The lines are quick and wavy, almost like a quick doodle. The coat looks soft and baggy, with a belt cinching the waist. The name "Cachalot" is written in the corner—maybe it’s the coat’s design name. The artist used simple strokes to show the fabric’s folds and movement. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
