About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, dark plaid coat and skirt. Her coat has a belt at the waist, and she’s holding a small object in one hand while her other hand rests on her hip. The lines are simple but confident, with quick strokes for the fabric folds and a loose sketch of her face. The artist signed it “Hublot” in the corner—likely the name of the outfit. The loose, sketchy style makes it feel like a quick study rather than a finished piece. Want to see more? Look up Marie-Louise Carven.
