Study for "Greek Girls Bathing" [recto]

Elihu Vedder

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-length drawing of a person standing with a slight forward lean, appearing in motion with the head turned to the side and the right arm bent upwards. The individual's features are softly sketched, with long, flowing hair and draped in a robe or flowing garment. The background is plain, and there are no visible accessories or items in hand. The image is created in a style that seems to use chalk or pastel in earthy tones on tan paper, emphasizing contours and texture.
