About this work

This is a quick, loose drawing of a woman in a long red coat. The coat has big pockets, a buttoned collar, and a slightly flared skirt. Her legs are long and straight, ending in simple shoes. The lines are sketchy, almost like a quick note—no extra details. The artist signed it "Colin Maillard" in the corner, which is odd for a woman’s name. The coat looks practical but stylish, like something from the mid-20th century. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
