About this work

This sketch shows a person bending over, seen from behind. Their head is down, and one arm rests on their knee. The lines are rough and dark, with some smudges where the pencil pressed hard. The artist left out details like faces or background. This makes the body look simple but strong. Look up Alexander Archipenko to see more of his work.
