About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, loose coat with a high collar and a belted waist. Her hands are tucked into her coat pockets, and she’s wearing simple shoes. The lines are soft and quick, like a quick sketch. The artist’s name, *Nicolas*, is written in the corner—maybe the woman’s name or a nickname. The drawing feels like a fast, casual study, not a polished portrait. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
