About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a bright red coat and matching skirt. The coat has big buttons down the front and a flared shape at the bottom. Her hair is short and neat, and she’s wearing simple black shoes. The red color stands out against the plain background, making the outfit look bold. The lines are clean and simple, with no extra details. If you like this style, look up womenswear to see how fashion has changed over time.
