About this work

This sketch shows two simple line drawings of a person in a coat. One figure stands facing forward with arms relaxed, the other is just the coat itself, drawn flat. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a quick note instead of a finished drawing. The artist signed it "Capucin" in the corner, which might be the name of the coat style or just a nickname. The drawing feels more like a fashion sketch than a posed portrait. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven, the artist who made it.
