Badende mit Kopf auf Knie (Bather with Her Head on Her Knee)

About this work

This drawing shows a woman sitting with her head resting on her knees. Her body is turned sideways, and her arms hang loose at her sides. The lines are simple but show the shape of her body clearly, with no extra details. The paper looks rough, and the lines are etched in, giving it a textured feel. This kind of drawing is called drypoint, where the artist scratches into a metal plate to create the image. Look up technique: drypoint to see how this process works.
