About this work

This sketch shows a woman walking, dressed in a long, striped coat with wide sleeves. The coat has a high collar and buttons down the front, and she’s wearing simple shoes. The lines are loose and quick, like a fashion sketch. The name *Citoyen* is written in the corner—it might hint at something about the outfit or the artist’s style. The drawing feels fresh and modern, with just a few pencil strokes. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven for more work like this.
