Description:
Double-breasted camel hair coat with huge pearl buttons. Note how the artist has used rub-on transfer screen to both indicate shadows and highlight the soft texture of the coat. The artist shows the coat's long belt loosely tied like a sash, and the sunglasses worn by the model are a nice touch, too. Could the "huge pearl buttons" be a playful reminder of the designer's name?
