About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long red coat with big pockets and a belt. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s wearing simple shoes. The lines are loose and quick, with some shading to show folds in the fabric. The red coat looks like a style from the mid-20th century, but the drawing itself is rough and sketchy. The artist didn’t focus on details—just the shape and movement of the clothes. If you like this style of fashion drawing, look up womenswear from the same era.
