About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a knee-length coat with a big collar. The coat has a checkered pattern in shades of gray and blue. She’s wearing a hat, gloves, and simple heels, walking with one foot slightly ahead. The drawing is loose and quick, with soft lines and watercolor washes. The name *Iéna* is scrawled in the corner—maybe the coat’s name or the artist’s note. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
