About this work

This drawing depicts a woman from behind, wearing a fur coat and hat. She has short hair and is dressed in a long, dark brown coat with a high collar, paired with a matching hat and dark stockings. Her right hand is by her side, while her left hand is obscured from view. To the right of the woman, a small sketch of a white coat is visible, suggesting a design or fashion element. The background of the drawing is a light beige color, providing a subtle contrast to the darker tones of the woman's attire. The woman's elegant pose and stylish clothing evoke a sense of sophistication, inviting the viewer to explore the world of fashion and design. For more on the artist's use of cross-hatching and stippling, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
