About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a stylish outfit. She’s wearing a long coat with a fur collar, a matching dress with a bold blue and brown pattern, and a belt at her waist. Her hair is neatly styled, and she’s walking with one hand resting on her hip. The word *Nevers* is handwritten in the corner, and there’s a simple line drawing of the coat’s back on the right side. The sketch looks like it was done quickly but with care. If you like fashion drawings, check out womenswear from the 1930s.
