Nude Woman

About this work

This sketch shows a woman’s upper body and head turned slightly to the side. Her arm rests on a chair back, and her hair is drawn in quick, loose lines. The paper is light green, and the lines are made with graphite and black crayon. The drawing looks unfinished, with some areas just suggested by strokes. It’s simple but captures movement well.
