This drawing shows a standing woman from the back, her body turned slightly to the side. Her arms are bent behind her head, and her hair is drawn in loose waves. The lines are simple but confident, with light shading to show her shape. The artist left her face blank, focusing only on the body’s form. The sketch feels quick, like a study rather than a finished work. If you like this style, look up William Sommer (American, 1867–1949) for more drawings.
