About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black outfit with a matching hat and long coat. Her hands are clasped in front of her, and she stands sideways, facing left. The lines are loose and confident, with a light, almost sketchy feel. The name "Oscar" is written in the corner, which might be a nickname or the subject’s name. The style looks like it was drawn quickly, focusing more on shape than detail. If you like this kind of fashion drawing, look up womenswear.
