About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, loose coat with big pockets and a hood pulled up. The coat is a soft pinkish color, and the sleeves are dark and puffy. Her legs are long and straight, and she’s wearing simple shoes. The drawing is quick and simple, with bold lines and flat colors. The artist left out small details, focusing on the shape and movement of the coat. Next, check out womenswear from the 1920s to see how clothing styles changed.
