From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
This loose sketch shows a nude woman standing sideways. Her hair is pulled back, and her arms hang straight at her sides. The lines are quick and simple, with no extra detail. The drawing looks like it was done fast—maybe while the artist was practicing shapes. The paper has some stains and marks, like it’s been handled a lot. Next, check out the technique: chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create form.
