Albert Besnard

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a sketch of a reclining person with their full body visible. The person is in a relaxed position, leaning back with their knees bent and their hands raised towards their face. Facial features are partially obscured by hands. The person appears unclothed with long hair. The background is minimalistic and abstract, with curving lines suggesting movement around the individual.
