About this work

The image presents a drawing of a woman attired in a black coat and skirt, complemented by a hat and gloves. The coat features a fur-trimmed collar and cuffs, while the skirt falls just above the knee. A smaller sketch of the coat is situated to the right of the main figure. The drawing is rendered in a range of grays, with subtle hints of color visible in the woman's hair and lips. The overall effect is one of understated elegance, with the woman's poised demeanor and stylish attire evoking a sense of refinement. This drawing is reminiscent of the work of artist Marie-Louise Carven.
