About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple, clean outfit: a short jacket and matching skirt with a checkered pattern. Her hair is neatly styled, and she wears black shoes. Next to her is a quick sketch of the jacket from behind. The name "Pigeon vole" is written in the top right corner, but it’s unclear what that means. The jacket’s design looks practical, with a few buttons and a straight cut. If you like this style, look up womenswear to see how fashion has changed over time.
