About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, light-colored coat with big pockets. She holds a folded umbrella in one hand and a small bag in the other. Her hair is short and neat, and she wears simple shoes. Next to her is a flat sketch of the same coat, drawn from the front. The artist focused on clean lines and simple shapes, making the coat look sleek and modern. The hand-drawn style feels quick, almost like a fashion sketch. Check out Marie-Louise Carven for more of her work.
