About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek outfit. She wears a dark hat, a gray coat with a plaid pattern on the sleeves, and a matching gray skirt. The lines are loose but confident, with quick strokes for the fabric and a tiny sketch of a man’s jacket in the corner. The name "Oron" is scrawled in the top right, and the drawing has a handwritten number. The plaid detail on the sleeves looks like a quick way to show texture without too much fuss.
