About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long black coat with a wide collar. She’s wearing a big, floppy hat and long gloves. The coat looks soft and furry, and her hands are tucked into the pockets. There’s also a small sketch of another outfit in the corner. The name *Val d’Isère* is written at the top, but we don’t know what it means here. The drawing is simple but shows how clothes can look elegant with just a few lines. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
