Study for "Riverfront No. 1"

George Bellows

National Gallery of Art

The drawing depicts a figure bending forward, with their back towards the viewer. The figure's body has abstract and disproportionate features, like elongated limbs and a large, exaggerated head. The use of shading and bold lines create depth and contrast. The drawing style suggests an exploration of form and movement in a minimalist and abstract manner.
