Reclining Woman

Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of a woman seated with one leg crossed over the other. Her upper body is slightly leaning back against a cushioned surface. She has a calm expression and direct gaze, long straight hair, and wears a long, flowing garment with fitted sleeves and a belt around her waist. The woman is barefoot and rests on a patterned textile near a basket. Faint outlines of foliage are in the background.
