About this work

This drawing shows a woman from behind, wearing a long green coat with red stripes and a matching red hat. Her coat has big pockets and a high collar, and she’s standing with her hands in them. She’s also wearing red shoes and a skirt that hits just above her ankles. The artist used bold colors and simple shapes to focus on the coat’s design. The red and green stand out against the plain background, making the outfit look sharp and stylish. If you like this kind of fashion drawing, look up womenswear in the 1930s.
