About this work

This drawing shows a person wearing a long, brown coat with big pockets and a high collar. Their hair is covered by a cap, and they’re standing with one leg slightly forward. The coat looks simple but has clean, sharp lines. The sketch is signed “Saxo” in the corner, which might be the coat’s name. The artist used loose, quick strokes to draw the figure and fabric.
