About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, pink coat with a high collar and a flared skirt. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she walks with one hand in her pocket. Below her, two simple line drawings show the coat’s front and back. The name *Clairefontaine* is written in the top corner, likely the dress’s design name. The coat’s style looks practical and slightly old-fashioned. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
