About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length coat with big pockets and a blue floral pattern. The coat has a simple belt at the waist and flared sleeves. She’s wearing matching blue heels and her hair is pulled back neatly. The drawing is loose and quick, with bold lines and light shading. The artist focused on the shape and fabric of the coat rather than details. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
