This lithograph in olive green features a nude woman standing in profile, facing right. Her body is positioned in a relaxed pose, with her weight shifted onto one leg. The woman's face is turned slightly towards the viewer, and her hair is pulled back, revealing her neck and shoulders. The background of the lithograph is a simple, muted color that allows the viewer's focus to remain on the woman. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the woman is lost in thought.
