Gustav Klimt

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a figure in a crouched or kneeling position with the head lowered and arm resting on the knee. The figure's body is outlined with pencil strokes, emphasizing the muscular structure and posture. Facial features are not detailed. The figure appears unclothed. To the right are abstract sketches of geometrical shapes and forms. The background is plain sketch paper, and the artist's signature, "Gustav Klimt," is at the bottom right corner.
