This drawing shows a woman walking sideways, dressed in a simple black outfit. Her coat has a deep V-back, and her skirt falls just above the knee. She wears low-heeled shoes and carries a small bag on her shoulder. The sketch is loose and quick, with bold lines and minimal shading. The artist focused on shape and movement over detail.
