Reclining Female Nude

William-Adolphe Bouguereau

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a sketch of a reclining female nude. The woman is drawn in pencil on brown paper and lies on her side with her back to the viewer, her head turned to face the right, her right arm bent at the elbow and her hand near her face. Her left arm is extended above her head. Her left leg is straight and her right leg is slightly bent. There are additional sketches of arms and a hand on the page. The background is a piece of brown paper with some writing and a circular stamp at the top.
