Morning, Nude on Bed, First Stone is a 1921 by George Bellows, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman sitting on a bed, completely naked. The room around her looks simple—just a bed with a quilt, a chair, and a window with curtains. The lines are loose and quick, like the artist drew fast. The woman’s pose is relaxed, but the drawing feels a little rough around the edges. The artist didn’t smooth out the lines much, which makes it feel more like a quick study than a polished work. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this sketch in person.
