About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a bright blue coat with big pockets, holding a small brown bag. Her hair is short and neat, and she’s wearing simple black shoes. The lines are clean and flat, with no shading—just bold colors against a plain background. The artist’s name, *Orgueil*, is written in the corner, which means "pride" in French. That might hint at something about the pose or outfit. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven for more work like this.
