About this work

This is a quick, sketchy drawing of a woman from behind. She’s wearing a long coat with a wide collar and a belt at the waist. The coat looks like it has a striped pattern, and her hands are tucked into pockets. The artist signed it “St Raphaël” in the corner. The drawing feels loose, like it was done fast—maybe to capture the shape and style of the coat. If you like this style of fashion sketches, look up womenswear.
