About this work

This sketch shows a single nude figure standing sideways. The person’s left arm is bent at the elbow, holding something near their chest, while their right arm rests by their side. The legs are slightly apart, and the body is drawn with loose, quick lines that focus on shape and movement. The drawing looks like it was made fast, with faint grid lines underneath—maybe to help the artist get proportions right. The brown lines stand out against a light, paper-like background.
