About this work

This sketch shows a woman walking, dressed in a long coat with big pockets and a loose skirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears simple shoes. The lines are quick and loose, like a quick sketch. The name *Pilar* is written in the corner, and the artist used light pencil strokes to show folds in the fabric. The drawing feels like a snapshot of a moment, not a finished work. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
