About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long red coat with a high collar and a matching hat. Her coat is belted at the waist, and she’s holding a small white purse. The drawing is simple but clean, with bold lines and flat colors. The artist focused on the coat’s shape and the woman’s stance, making them stand out. The red stands out against the plain background, drawing your eye right to her. If you like this style, look up *Marie-Louise Carven* next.
