About this work

This quick sketch shows a person standing sideways, arms resting behind their head. The lines are loose and the shading is soft, almost like watercolor. The body looks relaxed, with one leg slightly bent. The artist focused on shapes and light, not perfect details. This style was common in early 1900s Germany.
