National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of a reclining nude female figure. The figure is portrayed with her back arched, arms extended backward, and knees bent. Her head is tilted back with subtle facial features. Long dark hair cascades backward. The sketch uses minimalistic lines and shading. No clothing or accessories are present. In the background, there are faint sketches of other figures in dynamic poses. The background is plain and neutral.
