About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, dark coat with a fur collar. Her hair is styled in a neat bun, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. The coat has a loose, flowing shape, and the drawing is loose and quick, with simple lines. The name "Tourterelle" is written in the corner, which might be the woman’s nickname or the title. The artist used quick strokes to suggest fabric and movement. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
