This sketch shows a quick, loose drawing of a reclining nude woman. The lines are rough and uneven, with lots of smudges and shading. Her body is turned slightly, and her head rests on one arm while the other arm bends under her. The artist used fast, sketchy strokes—almost like scribbles—to capture movement and shape. It looks unfinished, as if drawn in one go. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
