About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, blue-and-white checkered coat. The coat has big pockets and a simple collar, and she’s holding a small object in her left hand. Her shoes are plain, and the whole drawing is loose and quick, like a quick sketch. The word *Outremer* is written at the top—it might refer to the color of her coat, a deep blue. The drawing looks like it was made fast, with bold lines and no extra details. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
