About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, dark coat with a belted waist and wide sleeves. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears simple earrings. The coat looks soft and slightly wrinkled, with a loose fit. The artist’s loose, quick lines give the drawing a lively feel, almost like a fashion sketch. The name "Narguilé" is written in the corner, which might hint at something about the coat or the style. If you like this kind of drawing, check out more womenswear from the same era.
