About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, two-piece outfit: a long jacket with buttons and a matching skirt. Her hair is pulled back under a bright orange hat, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. The lines are loose but confident, with just a few quick strokes for details like her earrings and the jacket’s folds. The name *Rodrigue* is scrawled in the corner, and the drawing feels like a quick study rather than a polished work. The artist focused on shapes and movement over tiny details.
