About this work

This sketch shows a person lying down, relaxed, with one arm under their head. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a doodle. The body is drawn simply, with just a few strokes for the legs and torso. The artist used a thin pen, barely shading the paper. The date "1906" is scrawled in the corner, but nothing else is written. The whole thing feels like a quick study, not a finished drawing. If you like this style, check out Hans Purrmann for more work.
