About this work

The image depicts a drawing of a woman in a long coat, standing with her left hand in her pocket and her right arm at her side. She is wearing a dress, heels, and a headband, and is facing to the right. The background of the drawing is a light beige color. The woman's coat is long and buttoned up, with a collar that stands up around her neck. Her dress is knee-length and appears to be a simple, straight design. Her heels are high and slender, and her headband is a thin strip of fabric that wraps around her forehead. The drawing is done in a simple, elegant style, with clean lines and minimal detail. The overall effect is one of understated sophistication and refinement. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who created this drawing, you might want to look up Marie-Louise Carven.
