Diane au levrier (Diana and a Greyhound)

Pierre Roche

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a full-length representation of a nude figure in profile, standing with one arm raised and the other lowered. The figure's facial features are indistinct due to the style of the artwork, and the hair appears to be short or sculpted closely to the head. The figure is holding an unidentified form or possibly drapery with the lower hand, and there is a flowing form extending from the raised arm. No clothing or jewelry is visible as the figure is nude. Around the figure, there is a textured, reddish-brown background that contrasts with the lighter shade of the body. The image is framed within a rectangular border on paper, and the rest of the background is a plain, light-colored paper with some handwritten text near the bottom.
