About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, loose coat with a wide collar. The coat is drawn in quick, sketchy lines, giving it a textured look. Her outfit includes a hat with a flat brim and a dress that peeks out beneath the coat. In the top left corner, there’s a small fabric swatch taped to the paper. The woman’s coat is labeled as "wool" and "embroidered wool," hinting at the material’s importance. The drawing feels like a quick study, maybe for a design or costume. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create texture with lines like these.
