About this work

This quick sketch shows a woman in a long, sleek coat with a high collar and puffed sleeves. Her hands are tucked into pockets, and she wears a pair of simple heels. The coat is mostly white with dark trim, and the whole drawing has a loose, sketchy feel. The artist signed it "Pampa" in the corner, which might be the name of this design or a nickname. The style looks like it’s from a time when fashion was clean and structured. Next, check out the museum: Museum of Ethnography to see if they have more sketches like this.
