About this work

This is a loose, sketchy drawing of a woman in a long, pink coat. The coat has a big collar and simple lines, with just a hint of black trim. The woman’s hair is tucked under a hat, and she stands with one leg slightly forward. The drawing feels quick and rough, like a first idea rather than a finished work. The word "Rose" is written in the corner, maybe the coat’s name or the model’s. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
