About this work

This sketch shows a person walking sideways, their body turned just slightly toward us. The head is blank—no face at all—just a smooth shape where features should be. They’re dressed in loose, flowing fabric that clings to the body in places, with one arm bent behind them and the other hanging straight. The drawing uses quick, dark lines that create shadows without filling in details. It feels like it was drawn fast, almost like a dancer mid-move. The paper has a warm, yellowish tone, making the ink stand out. This sketch was made by Vaslav Nijinsky, a famous dancer who also drew.
