This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length dress with a belted waist and a short jacket. The jacket has buttons down the front and a slightly puffed shoulder. She’s wearing low-heeled shoes and holding her coat open with one hand. The lines are quick and simple, with some shading to show folds in the fabric. The name *Crocodile* is written in the corner—maybe it’s the dress style or fabric. The drawing looks like it was made fast, with light strokes and no extra detail. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
