About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a dark blue coat with big pockets and a fitted waist. The coat flares out at the knees, and she’s wearing simple shoes. Beside her is a sketch of the coat’s back view, showing buttons down the front. The artist used quick, loose lines to suggest fabric and movement. The coat looks practical but stylish, with clean shapes and no extra details. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion designs.
