About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a bright blue plaid coat and matching skirt. She’s wearing low-heeled shoes and has a sleek, short haircut. The coat has big lapels and buttons down the front, while the skirt flares slightly at the bottom. To the right, there’s a simple line drawing of the same outfit from the back. The handwriting in the corner says “Moïse,” which might be the name of the design or the model. The sketch looks quick and loose, like it was drawn fast to capture the look. Want to see more?
