Nude Study, Woman Lying on a Pillow is a 1924 by George Bellows, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman lying on her side on a pillow. Her body is relaxed, one arm bent under her head, the other stretched out. The lines are loose and quick, focusing on shapes and curves rather than details. The artist didn’t fill in much shading, so the drawing feels light and sketchy. The focus is on the body’s movement and form. Want to see more work like this? Check out George Bellows (American, 1882–1925).
