About this work

This drawing depicts a woman dressed in a long, white coat with a fur-trimmed collar and a matching hat. The coat appears to be knee-length, and the woman is shown in profile, facing right. Her left arm is bent at the elbow, and her hand is tucked into her coat pocket. In the bottom-right corner of the drawing, a smaller sketch of the back of the coat is visible, providing additional detail about the garment's design. The overall style of the drawing is simple and elegant, with clean lines and minimal shading. For more information about the artist's work, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
