Printed with thick, bold outlines and areas of flat black against cream-white paper, a nude woman bends at the waist against what could be a bed in this stylized, square woodcut print. The woman’s form is loosely outlined so details are indistinct, but she seems to rest her face on one bent forearm, braced on the surface across which she lies. Her body bends at the hips so her toes brush the floor along the bottom edge of the print. Her eye, nose, and lips are boldly outlined and she has small breasts and her groin is delineated. Curving lines in the area around her suggests fabric or a bed. The background above her and the area below her face, along the right edge of the paper, are swallowed in blackness.
