About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, light pink coat with big pockets and a straight skirt. Her sleeves are slightly puffy, and she’s wearing dark gloves and simple shoes. The lines are quick and confident, with no extra details—just the shape of her clothes and stance. The artist signed it "Souris" in the corner, which might be a nickname or title. The drawing feels like a quick study, focusing only on the outfit’s style. If you like this sketch, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
