Female Nude Bending to the Left

About this work

This drawing shows a woman lying on her side, her body curved as she bends left. Her head rests on her hand, and her legs are tucked up. The lines are loose and quick, with no extra details—just the shape of her body and a few shadows. The artist left out most background, focusing only on the figure. The paper is a plain tan color, and the chalk strokes look soft in places, almost smudged. Next, check out Schiele, Egon to see how his style changed over time.
