About this work

This sketch shows a person in a long coat with bold black and orange stripes. The sleeves are loose, and the collar is turned up. The face is just a simple shape with no details—just a hat on top. The lines are rough and quick, like a fast sketch. The name *Kon-Tiki* is written in the corner, which might be a nickname or title. The drawing feels more like a quick study than a finished portrait. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
