About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a fitted, plaid jacket and matching skirt. Her white gloves and small hat add a sharp contrast to the dark fabric. The drawing is loose and quick, with simple lines and no extra details. The name "Mistigri" is scrawled in the corner—maybe the outfit’s style or the model’s nickname. The artist used light pencil strokes to suggest fabric texture without heavy shading. If you like this sketch, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
