About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, dark coat with a checkered pattern. The coat has big pockets and a high collar, and she’s wearing a simple skirt underneath. The drawing is loose and quick, with bold lines and some shading. The artist signed it “Pinson” in the corner, and there’s a small sketch of the coat’s back view on the right. The style looks like it’s from a time when women’s clothing was more fitted and structured. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
