About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, loose coat with big buttons down the front. The coat is a plain tan color, and she’s wearing simple shoes. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one hand in her pocket. The drawing is loose and quick, almost like a fashion sketch. The name "Lycée Lafontaine" is written in the corner, which might be where this was made or who it’s for. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven for more of her work.
