About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, red coat with thick sleeves and a high collar. Her hands are tucked into pockets, and she wears simple shoes. The lines are loose and fast, like a quick sketch. The word *Sablé* is written in the corner—maybe it’s the name of the coat or the style. The drawing feels more like a fashion idea than a finished portrait. Next, look up womenswear to see how clothing like this fit into everyday life.
