About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long coat with white polka dots. The coat is dark, almost black, with a fur collar and a slightly see-through skirt. She’s holding her coat closed at the front, and her hair is pulled back neatly. The name *Pistule* is written in the top corner, which might be the title or a label. The drawing looks simple but catches the shape and style of the coat well. Want to see more? Check out womenswear from the 1930s.
