About this work

This drawing shows a tall, slender figure in a dark, simple outfit. The person’s hair is styled in a high bun, and they’re wearing a black coat with a green necktie or collar. Their hands are tucked away, and one leg is slightly bent, giving a relaxed stance. The background is plain, letting the figure stand out clearly. The artist used loose, quick lines to sketch the figure, leaving some areas blank. The green detail on the collar adds a small pop of color. This drawing looks like it was made fast, almost like a sketch. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
