Standing Girl with Arms Behind her Head is a 1912 by Wilhelm Lehmbruck, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a tall, slender figure standing with her arms raised behind her head. The lines are simple but confident, focusing on the body’s shape and balance. The paper has a rough texture, and the drawing looks like it was done quickly, with some faint pencil marks visible. The figure’s pose is relaxed yet slightly stiff, as if caught mid-movement. The artist focused on the body’s structure rather than details like facial features or background. If you like this style, check out Wilhelm Lehmbruck.
