A secondary, simplified rear view of the coat accompanies the main figure, potentially emphasizing the garment's design.

Characterized by clean, bold lines and flat, unshaded colors, the drawing exhibits a minimalist approach, focusing on outline and shape rather than depth or texture.

History & Provenance
