About this work

This sketch shows a woman walking in a simple outfit. She wears a light gray suit with a matching skirt, a bright yellow hat, and low heels. The lines are loose and quick, like a quick sketch. The artist signed it "Simoun" in the corner. The clothes look clean and practical, maybe from the 1950s or 1960s. If you like this style, check out womenswear from the same era next.
