About this work

This sketch shows a woman from the back, wearing a light blue coat with dark trim and a matching skirt. Her hands are tucked into her pockets, and she’s standing on one leg. Next to her is a simple black dress with a high collar and short sleeves. The drawing is loose and quick, like a fashion sketch. The artist focused on the shapes and lines of the clothes, not the details of the face or background. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
