Drapery Study for Reclining Female Study for "Painting"

Kenyon Cox

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a pencil drawing of a seated figure. The lower body is completed with detailed shading, while the upper body and head are more loosely sketched. The figure is reclining with legs extended and an arm outstretched to the side. The face has light pencil strokes and long flowing hair. The figure wears a draped garment that covers the lower half of the body. The image includes a staff or rod in the figure's hand. A grid is visible over the image, and there are written text and notations on the right side.
