About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, dark coat with a big collar and a wide-brimmed hat. Her skirt is long and flared, with a pattern of blue shapes on a gray background. The lines are simple and quick, like a quick sketch. The name *Coriolan* is written in the top corner, which might be the outfit’s design name. The drawing feels like a quick study, not a finished work. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
