Reclining Female Nude (recto)

Anonymous

Cleveland Museum of Art

Pencil drawing on aged paper of a nude woman reclining on her side. The woman's body faces slightly right; her head faces left. Her left arm is bent at the elbow and rests on a surface. Her right arm is extended behind her, palm down. Her right leg is straight and rests on the surface; her left leg is bent. Her hair falls around her shoulders and back. The drawing is on off-white paper with darker shading around the figure. The paper has a rough texture and small brown spots throughout. The drawing takes up most of the paper, leaving a border around it.
