About this work

This sketch shows a person from behind, wearing a long green coat with a dark hat. The coat has thick, dark lines at the pockets and cuffs, and the fabric looks slightly textured. The background is plain, leaving all the focus on the figure’s silhouette. The name *Saphir* is written in the corner—maybe a nickname or the model’s name. The drawing feels quick, like a study rather than a finished piece. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
