About this work

This drawing shows a woman dressed in a red coat with black fur trim and a matching hat. She's wearing black gloves and shoes, and her face is white with dark eyebrows and eyelashes. The background is off-white. The woman's outfit seems to be from the mid-20th century, judging by the style of her coat and hat. Her facial expression is neutral, and her posture is straight.
