About this work

This drawing shows a person in a red jacket with big pockets and light pants, holding two sticks with round tops—like a toy or tool. Their sleeves are rolled up, and they’re wearing a belt with a small buckle. The jacket has a high collar, and the whole scene looks simple but lively. The drawing’s name is *St Moritz*, and the artist signed it in the corner. The red jacket and the way the person stands give it a playful, almost sporty feel.
