About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a dark blue outfit. She’s wearing a long coat with a high collar and a matching long skirt. Her hands are in her pockets, and she’s got on black gloves and low-heeled shoes. The lines are simple but confident, with quick strokes to show folds in the fabric. The name *Violon* is scrawled in the corner—maybe a nickname for the outfit or the model. The artist used loose, sketchy lines, almost like a quick fashion doodle.
