Two Nudes

Odilon Roche

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a nude figure from a side view on all fours, with the left knee and left hand supporting the body's weight. The person's head is lowered, with strands of dark hair extending over the back and neck. There are no details provided about any clothing or jewelry, as the figure is unclothed. The background is plain and unadorned to highlight the sketched figure. The composition is simple and monochromatic, emphasizing the lines and curves of the body.
