About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing black coat with vertical lines drawn down the front. Her arms are out slightly, and she wears simple shoes. The coat looks light and airy, almost like it’s made of fabric with folds. The drawing is loose and quick, with some small sketches of the coat’s back and side views. The artist used simple lines to show movement and shape. Look up Marie-Louise Carven next to see more of her fashion sketches.
