About this work

This drawing shows a simple figure wearing a long brown coat with big pockets and a belted waist. The coat has clean lines and a straight collar, while the figure’s hair is short and neat. The background is plain, keeping all focus on the outfit. The artist’s loose, sketchy style makes the drawing feel quick and modern. The name *Zazie* is written in the corner, but we don’t know why. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
