About this work

This sketch shows a reclining nude woman lying on her side. Her head rests on her hand, and her body is drawn in loose, confident lines. Behind her, a wall holds a few odd shapes—like a clock and a bulb—but they’re just outlines. The artist used a mix of shading and raised lines to add texture, especially on her skin and hair. It’s all done with ink and metal plates, not paint. Want to see how this technique works? Check out etching.
