About this work

This image depicts a woman dressed in a gray-blue coat and matching hat, rendered in a sketchy style. The woman's attire is the central focus, with the coat featuring a collar and buttons down the front, while the hat is tied under her chin. The woman is shown from the side, with her left arm bent at the elbow and her right arm hanging straight down. Her left leg is slightly bent, and she is wearing high heels. A small, simple drawing of the back of the coat is visible in the bottom-right corner of the image. The overall style of the drawing is simple and elegant, with clean lines and minimal shading. The use of a limited color palette adds to the sense of simplicity and sophistication. For more information on the subject of womenswear, explore the works of Marie-Louise Carven.
