Otto Greiner

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a pencil and chalk drawing of a partially visible person. The figure is shown seated in a twisting pose, with arms extended and head turned slightly. The facial features are detailed, with a serene expression and hair styled loosely. The figure wears flowing robes with textured folds. Another drawing of the person's head is shown to the right, with the same expression and hairstyle. The background is a solid grayish-green color. White chalk is used for highlighting details.
