About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, striped coat with a high collar and fur trim. The coat is loose and boxy, falling straight to her ankles. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she’s wearing a simple necklace. The lines are quick and sketchy, with some shading to show folds in the fabric. The name *Pie grièche* is written in the corner—it’s likely the title of this drawing. The coat’s style looks like something from the early 1900s, but the artist left no date.
