About this work

This sketch shows a person standing with their arms out, holding two long poles. They’re dressed in a loose coat, belted at the waist, and baggy pants. The lines are quick and confident, with watercolor washes in soft grays and blues. The artist signed it "Mozin" in the corner—probably the person’s name. The drawing feels like it was made fast, maybe for fashion or a quick idea. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her loose, expressive style.
