DescriptionThis diminutive, vertical, rectangular image depicts in dark brown ink on white paper a standing figure of a nude woman. She stands with her proper right arm raised, fingers of her proper right hand grazing her temple. Her proper left arm crosses her torso so that her hand rests on her right hip. She is depicted with an elongated nose that extends from her eyebrows, creating a T-shape. Her eyes appear closed. Her proper left leg is visible and there is a slight bend to her knee. Her proper right leg, from mid-thigh down, is obscured by the suggestion of drapery that extends the length of the figure on the image’s left side.Exhibition HistoryMore research needed.
