About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, red coat with big cuffs and a matching hat. The coat is belted at the waist and falls to her ankles. She’s holding a small bag and wearing black shoes. In the corner, there’s a quick sketch of the same coat from the back. The name *Cervinia* is written in the top right, and the drawing looks like it was made to show how the coat fits. The lines are loose but confident, focusing on shape over detail. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
