About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple outfit walking forward. She wears a short jacket and matching skirt with red stripes, paired with low heels. The lines are loose and quick, with just enough detail to show the shape of her clothes. The word *Moniteur* is scrawled in the corner—maybe the name of the outfit or a note from the artist. There’s also a small sketch of the jacket’s back view, tucked in the bottom right. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
