About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, loose coat with big buttons down the front. The coat flares at the bottom, and she’s wearing gloves with the fingers slightly curled. The lines are simple and quick, like a quick pencil drawing. The name *Maxime* is written in the corner—maybe it’s the model’s name or the coat’s design. The drawing feels fresh and a little sketchy, not super polished. If you like this style, check out artist: Marie-Louise Carven.
