This drawing shows sharp angles and soft curves pressed together, like a puzzle of light and shadow. It’s a study for a seated figure, not a finished work. Popova breaks the body into flat planes and sharp edges. She’s testing how to show volume on paper. The shading isn’t smooth—it jumps in patches, almost like a sketch you’d keep. Check out how she uses cross-hatching to build light and dark.
