This sketch shows a woman in a long, loose coat with wide sleeves. She wears a hat pulled low, covering her face, and holds a small object in her right hand. The coat looks like it’s made of thick fabric with a slight sheen, and her skirt has a straight, boxy shape. The artist wrote notes in French about the outfit’s details—like "serge bleue" (blue serge) and "broderie laine verte" (green wool embroidery). The drawing feels quick and simple, like a rough draft. Next, look up wool to see how different fabrics were used in early 20th-century fashion.
