About this work

This drawing shows a person wearing a long, brown coat with big pockets and a high collar. The coat looks thick, like wool, and the person is also wearing gloves and a hat. The background is plain white, and there’s a small scrap of fabric in the top right corner. The word “Canard” is written in red, which might be a name for the drawing. The fabric swatch in the corner looks like it could be the same material as the coat. Check out swatch to see how artists use real fabric in their sketches.
